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
  Ambassadrice de fer

  Poppy lance son écu et le fait rebondir sur sa cible. Poppy peut le ramasser pour obtenir un bouclier temporaire.

• Q
  Commotion

  Poppy balance son marteau, infligeant des dégâts et créant une zone qui ralentira les ennemis et explosera après un délai.

• W
  Présence immuable

  Poppy obtient passivement de l'armure et de la résistance magique. Ce bonus augmente quand il lui reste peu de PV. Poppy peut activer Présence immuable pour augmenter sa vitesse de déplacement et arrêter les ruées ennemies autour d'elle. Si elle arrête une ruée, l'ennemi est ralenti et inerte.

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

• E
  Charge héroïque

  Poppy charge la cible et la repousse. Si la cible est repoussée contre un mur, elle est étourdie.

  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
  Verdict de la gardienne

  Poppy canalise un coup de marteau qui projette les ennemis très loin.

  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.
