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
  钢铁大使

  波比扔出她的圆盾，圆盾会在命中目标后弹起。波比可以捡起圆盾来获得一个短暂的护盾效果。

• Q
  圣锤猛击

  波比挥舞她的铁锤，造成伤害并创造一个区域，这个区域会减速敌人并在一段时间后爆炸。

• W
  坚定风采

  波比被动获得护甲和魔法抗性。这个加成会在她生命值较低时得到提升。波比可以主动施放此技能来获得移动速度加成并中断附近敌人的突进。如果中断了一次突进，那么该敌人还会被减速和缚地。

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

• E
  英勇冲锋

  波比冲向目标并把目标推后。如果目标被推到墙上，就会受到晕眩效果。

  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
  持卫的裁决

  波比引导一次能够把敌人击飞到远方的锤击。

  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.
