How to beat Poppy

Common role: Top / Support

An anti-mobility tank who stops dashes and hammers you into a wall to stun.

What makes Poppy dangerous

Poppy shuts down dashes with her W (a hard counter to mobile divers and assassins), knocks you into walls with her E to stun, and her ultimate can banish a whole group out of a fight. She's a durable peel tank that protects her carries and denies engage comps.

How to play against Poppy

• 1Don't dash into her W — it stops the dash and knocks you down. Engage without a dash, or bait her W first.
• 2Her E only stuns if it knocks you into a wall — fight in open areas to reduce it to a slow.
• 3Respect her ultimate — it can knock your whole engage out of the fight. Don't group tightly when she can zone or peel with it.
• 4She has low damage on her own — kite her and burst her carries. She's there to peel, not to carry.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Low personal damage — she's a peel tank.
• ✓E only stuns near walls — open ground denies it.
• ✓Punishes dashes, so engage without one.
• ✓Kiteable with no gap-closer of her own.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Poppy's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Embajadora de hierro

  Poppy lanza su broquel, el cual rebotará en el objetivo. Podrá recogerlo para obtener un escudo temporal.

• Q
  Impacto de martillo

  Poppy usa su martillo, inflige daño y crea una zona que ralentizará a los enemigos y explotará tras un breve lapso de tiempo.

• W
  Entereza inalterable

  Poppy gana armadura y resistencia mágica de forma pasiva. La bonificación aumenta cuando tiene poca vida. Poppy puede activar Entereza inalterable para obtener velocidad de movimiento y evitar que los enemigos se deslicen a su alrededor. Si detiene un deslizamiento, el enemigo queda ralentizado y anclado.

  Strong: stops dashes and knocks down the dasher — a hard counter to divers. Weak: engage without a dash, or bait her W first.

• E
  Carga heroica

  Poppy carga hacia su objetivo y lo empuja. Si el objetivo choca contra un muro, se queda aturdido.

  Strong: hammers you into a wall for a stun. Weak: it only stuns near terrain — fight in the open to reduce it to a slow.

• R
  Veredicto de la guardiana

  Poppy ejecuta un golpe con el martillo que lanza a los enemigos muy, muy lejos.

  Strong: can knock an entire engage out of the fight. Weak: don't group tightly when it's up — she needs you clustered to zone or peel with it.

Itemization

Poppy is a peel tank. Don't rely on dashes to engage (her W stops them), fight away from walls to avoid her E stun, and % health/magic damage beats her tankiness. Kite her and kill her carries.
