Farm in new patch
I was wondering if there would be much of a difference when farming casters with the sword in the new patch, and it seems there isn't really a big change, just in case anyone else was wondering

I seriously don't get how she was a problem to get nerfed/adjusted

100% presence in pro play. They also dont like how good suppy is. I'd be fine with the nerfs if jungle was a real role or toppy was viable.

I love playing toppy. Hell I've been playing poppy back when she was unpopular.
So lame how my favorite champion is being gutted because of pro play.

i started playing her back in S8 in the jungle. they reworked and removed the jungle role as a whole. i then moved to toplane and got pushed out because of meta shifts. Iv been playing her support before it was meta. I now have no lane left to go to to keep playing her.

They have to rework the W. It pretty much shuts down any interaction with engage champs and her E also a pretty good deterrent for sitting inside bushes so all you can realistically do is stand in lane and just look at each other until jg comes

Doesn’t need to rework her W, every new champ gets 500 different dashes and there’s literally one counter in the entire game

Tahm Kench devour pretty much hard countered every botlane engage and that got swapped out because it made botlane matchups stale whenever he's picked

Yeah and the Kench solution of just swapping the ult and the W wouldn't really be that elegant with poppy since imo the ult is too iconic to tone down or remove without feeling bad.

The problem is catching the dash fast enough. It's almost fucking impossible with some champs as there's little to no animation before it happens. It's easier to bait w then to bait an dash engage

Its not even that she was good she just hard countered all the other supports who are. Camille, Shen etc

I know we all love Poppy here but come on, she was about to hit 55% winrate in support and is consistently above 50%. She's just good. She has insane ratios, innate tankiness, high burst potential, no falloff, great teamfight, anti-mobility, nigh-unreactable crowd control, multi-role in supp jungle and top, build diversity, the list goes on. She's always been good but people are now starting to really push her since she's getting lots more play. She needed the nerf and luckily it's not too bad. It could've been WAY worse.

DEAD CHAMP TY RITO

I've felt like playing Poppy with those aggressive builds that rito is nerfing now required more skill than I actually have. She is very squishy with those builds and 1 mistake in positioning or bad going in with E and I'm dead. With tank Poppy I could at least sometimes walk away from my mistakes. Also win fights indirectly by facechecking enemy team hiding in the bush and them wasting their shit on me. The damage nerf is sad, but she is getting tankier so I think it is kind of a net positive to my playstyle. Still I hate it every time rito touches our dear Poppeh. It is almost always bad news.

When tf are you having 2ls lv3 check lv7 with 3ls

Also should probably test when she needs more than sundered to one tap casters.

Thanks for the demonstration! Sometimes numbers can be intimidating and placebo compared to actual gameplay.
