My duo mate Poppy loves Hob and risks

Managed to hit Diamond again playing almost exclusively Poppy Top. The climb somehow got easier as I got into Emerald 1 lmao. I managed to finish my climb in under 200 games and be rated as a top 200 Poppy player in NA! If people have any questions about items/matchup/playstyle, I would be happy to give out 2 million mastery worth of advice 😄

I've been picking up Poppy Top lane, mainly when I have counterpick, and I find myself almost never building Sundered Sky or Spirit Visage, even though they're her most popular items.

For starters, early game it feels really bad to recall with 1150g and buy a Tunneler, when it feels like there are so many better components I could buy for the same or similar gold.

Warden's Mail is 150g cheaper and makes you pretty much unkillable early against an AD Top + AD Jungle. For 50g more I can get full Plated Steelcaps, or I could pick up Bramblevest and Boots for 50g less. Spectre's Cowl for AP matchups means you can shrug them off and basically farm in peace.

Secondly, Poppy is really good with resistances. Gaining up to 24% additional Armour and MR from her W passive is fantastic. So why wouldn't I build for this? Building Sundered Sky into Fimbulwinter into Spirit Visage means that at level 13, you have 115 armour and 105 Magic resistance, so you're getting roughly 27 bonus armour and 25 bonus MR max. Conversely, Unending Despair into Fimbulwinter into Kaenic Rookern gives you 165 armour and 135 MR, so you're already netting yourself an extra 39 armour and 32 MR.

Finally, Poppy is a tank, not a fighter. You're unfortunately not going to be able to split push and take every wave, every tower and really snowball an early game lead. Eventually, you're going to be grouping up with your team, conceding farm to your Mid or ADC and generally being lower resource than a carry Top laner like Riven or Jax would. So I'm looking to get a powerful 3 item core, and maybe squeeze in room for a powerful component like Bramblevest or Warden's Mail. I just don't feel like I can warrant delaying my big ticket resistance items to a 4th item that I might never get to.

So I guess what I'm asking is; sell me on Sundered Sky. Spirit Visage I can kind of get; it's very synergistic with both your kit and Fimbulwinter, but I find myself eschewing it for the increased resistances of something like Kaenic or even Force of Nature.

When do you build it? Is it matchup specific? Team comp specific? What makes you look at a game and say "This is a great Sundered Sky game"?

I swear the Mythic shop has gone through EVERY single possible Hextech skin and some appearing multiple times and Poppy still hasn’t appeared. I’ve already paid for the pass to get my mythic essence why the hell is it left to bloody chance if I can buy the skin with currency I’ve already spent money to get!

I’m praying this bs FOMO system gets scrapped with the big League update at the end of the year/start of next year. The randomness is so stupid if it even is random given that we have a steady supply of Lux/Cait skins and at least one K/da skin every rotation to keep riots big earners happy.

Rant over. Very sorry. Have a nice day

I just hit emerald for the first time since coming back to league after like my 5th 1 year hiatus ever since I started playing back in 2016, poppy helped me make it!

I picked up poppy after I got curb stomped as a Jax by her back when I first started and always used her as a counter to my Jax OTP but slowly realized that she can truly deal with anyone and everyone and now I just spam her, 53% WR!

I was considering swapping out 9 adaptive force for 2.5% ms because poppy is good with ms, and 5 ad doesn't seem like it'll make much of a difference. I go sorcery because I find poppy has bad mana issues and I dont often build any tear items on support unless necessary, so it helps a ton early and mid game.

She's here once again

Looking at high elo games, I see storm raiders played, I see hob played, and I also see dark harvest played. Anyone have any insight on strengths and weaknesses of these runes on poppy? I’ve tried all 3 and hob feels best to me but I’m fairly new to being a poppy main.

Seems like Yasuo's can counter any projectiles, including ults and Mel's diamond shield does as well. But with Poppy's W you have a CD of around 20 sec and you cannot even counter ults like malphite, vex or briar. It totally seems unfair.

How the hell you get a CD that is that long without possiblity to stop those ults??? When other champs can counter ults easily and walk around unnoticed

It seems to be an unfair treatment from riot. Either the CD and mana usage should be lower or the ability to block unstoppable dash should be possible. What's your vision?

I'm a classic poppy enjoyer and this was my favorite play style of her. she should be released in later patches in classic, either before or after mord; not sure. but i figured i would repost this old guide i used to use back in the day right before she was reworked so when she does come back we can go right to being a menace on the rift :)

Hello all I want to otp poppy and I was wondering if there are any otp streamers?I want to play her mainly top!!!

Ty all

I am on a mission to turn all 173(and counting) champions into pixel art sprites. Here is #41/173, Poppy, Keeper of the Hammer.

Confirmed in the Dev Update, old Poppy will be coming to LoL Classic!

Looking to see if I'm a dunce for leaving it for last - afraid I may be sleeping on its value. Last game I had solid reason to build Frozen Heart and I'm sure that could be a factor. How impactful is it vs working on other late items?

I am genuinely unsure how I got the kill, ate everything that was thrown at me during the 3 business days I was CC'd for, and escaped.

I mean, Sion mains are always fuming but this one was specially funny

Edit: Wrote "fuming" wrong lol

I’m coming back to League after a roughly 5 to 10-year break and I’ve decided I want to pick up the hammer and main Poppy.

I’m currently thinking of queuing up as Top or Support, but honestly, I would prefer to play her Mid if that’s even a viable option these days. Has anyone had success taking her to the mid lane?

Also, since I’m an older player returning after a long hiatus, the game feels pretty different. I’d love to hear any tips, tricks, or general advice you might have for someone getting back into it.

Are there any core mechanics, current builds, or must-bans I should focus on right now?

Thanks in advance for the help! ❤️🙏

Back when I was Level 26 too. Dang.

It's too bad old Poppy isn't confirmed for League Classic.

I am officially "that guy" with a million points but still sucks at the game

So I just wanted to share with everyone if they wanted to use a sticker pack I made for telegram. The artist is Mayuri_pony.
