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.

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.
