xPetu says “Recommended: Standard Runes & Teleport
Tips: W her Passive AA's (prevents Grasp). Passive shield her Q1 if possible. Never get hit by her Q2. Don't let her E you into a wall.”
PH45 says “Her W will deny your jump so try to bait it out and jump on her when it's ended. She will get quite tanky and still deal good amount of damage so she might be hard to deal with especially early with her shield and stun. Try not to stand near walls as she can stun you with her E if she gets you against the wall.”
Drake6401 says “Poppy is pretty even because you both have an answer for each other's trades. Poppy can stop your dashes and you can break through her passive shield. Make sure to keep in open spaces around her so that she can't stun you against the wall.
Your odds of mobility are very low against her so this leans in her favor slightly. After level 6 you gain a slight advantage but she can easily just get rid of you. Kill potential is in your favor though.”
I Am Goliath says “Poppy has a surprising amount of damage for a tank because of her Q so try your best to dodge her Q's, She's also pretty hard to actually punish early game so we have to play the scaling game against her, try your best to push in early and get an early Cull, you can also use your E when she throws her passive at you to shield the damage. VERY IMPORTANT against poppy that you DO NOT play near the walls or cliffs in top lane, if you give her a stun in the wall you will lose the trade very hard. Don't stress too much about getting fed early in this lane as you do outscale just try your best to CS and survive and punish her when you can, once you get level 9 and have your W maxed you can look for longer trades, but remember her Q has a % HP scaling so that will always hurt. Her W also blocks your E so keep in that in mind, sometimes you can bait it out by getting her to use it for the movement speed then go for the E, another thing to keep in mind is if you use your E right as she knocks you away with her R it will actually buffer it and you won't go flying really far away and can just kill her (I'll show a video example of this down below) Other then that don't play near walls and don't get chunked by her passive and just wait for items to outscale her in the splitpush.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Poppy will passively throw her buckler at a target. Minions that die automatically grant her a shield but champions struck cause the buckler to bounce off and land nearby, you can destroy it by stepping on it and she has to pick it up. Her (R) has two possible outcomes, either she uses a charged (R) to remove you from battle or uses a non charged (R) to knock you up. Stay away from terrain or her flash (E) will stun you against it allowing her to combo into her (Q) > (R). Don't stand in her (Q) after she has activated it, as it is a two phase damage skill that will set the ground to explode shortly after it is activated.
”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - EASY LANE. DON’T STAND BETWEEN HER AND A WALL. DON’T EAT HER POKE. CONQUEROR RECOMMENDED.
Poppy is not too difficult of a champion to fight. You don’t need too much special knowledge. Just don’t stand between her and a wall, try to stop her from taking her shield but keep in mind that she might use it to bait you into a wall stun, try to be aware of how she can flash and wall stun you and lastly, be wary of her ultimate. If possible, try to save your e in order to cancel her r as it is one of the best disengage tools in the game. It has been a while since I’ve seen a Poppy utilise an ultimate correctly but the potential for her stopping your rampage in a teamfight is there. ”
Anoying bro5 says “Try to dodge her Q or parry it if you don't plan on going in on a fight. DO NOT Q if she uses her W (gold circle). You can bait her knock back by hugging a wall, and riposte to stun. You can also Q+W her W to stun if you are outside her circle. This is a tough matchup as once she has bramble/ tabis it is not worth fighting until you finish Ravenous Hydra which will still be a tough lane.”
Olaf Only says “Easy after lvl 6.
Never trade if her passive is up.
She can do a lot of damage you if you are close to a wall or turret.
You can all-in after lvl 6, just make sure to use your R before her's.”
Rhoku says “Much like other tanks, Poppy can't do too much into you. In order to participate in lane, she has to walk up to your melee range. If you use your pull properly, you can just kill her over and over again. She can't farm or do anything in lane. If she somehow cheeses a kill, don't worry, as level 6 you can just win the lane back and destroy her in death realm. Tabis if she beats you but she REALLY shouldn't.”
ForgottenProject says “She does a bit too much damage Early despite not building any damage.
[1]She will try to Wall-stun you which you can parry, but it's better to steer clear of Walls.
[2]Her early-game damage is stupid so try not to trade with her pre-level 6.
[3]The Light Ball that drops on the ground is her passive that gives her a shield, you can step on it to deny it.”
PH45 says “She can make you useless in fights as she can just ult you away so you won't get to use your ult to full potential. Her W will also stop your E but you can negate her E with your W timed right. In lane should't be too much of an issue but teamfights are a different case.”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Poppy can be challenging because of her high amount of crowd control, tankiness, and damage. Don't force too many trades and avoid getting knocked into a wall and destroyed. ”
MythicMike says “Don't stay near any walls and don't dash recklessly into her because she can just press W and ground your ass. Poke her down until you can all in since she has no escape.”
Feedaboi says “Has super high base stats and can 100 to 0 you early on if you are not carefully with her passive autos + her q since her q does percent health damage which counters kled due to his and skaarl's hp bars making him having the highest base health in the game. She also can negate your e "jousting" with her W which will cancel the dash and silence you. She is also very tanky. Look to q farm early on and last hitting minions, and try to freeze waves near your turret in order to setup ganks.”
iZeal says “Poppy has one of the strongest early games out of all tanks. Never stand next to walls or you will get chunked, be wary of Grasp passive autos. Bombard her with Qs to sustain and get Black Cleaver asap.
Do not Q3 into her or she will use her W and ground you (instead consider using Flash to kill her). Back off when she gets her shield or she might E into a minion to close the gap and q spam you.”
wff010 says “ She matches your damage early game for some reason so you want to dodge as much as you can and stay away from walls or you'll die. Farm up, she's a tank, you can use her against the enemy carry later on to prevent her from fucking up your team.”
Raen says “Try to all in her at 1 lvl with your E. Don't get close to walls or other structures cuz she can easy stun you up with her E. Be careful with your Q because her W deny your jump. After getting Botrk + Trinity/Divine Sunderer you should win 1 vs 1 vs her/ Remember that your E blocks her empowered autoattack from passive.”
Phrxshn says “Avoid being in front Poppy if you want to trade. Also avoid walls to prevent Heroic Charge(E) from stunning you. Try to save fling for her Keeper's Verdict(R) to prevent use. (Outscaling Edge: Even) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Recommended Items: Demonic Embrace, Rylai's Scepter) (Mega Adhesive prevent casting of her Heroic Charge) (Fling overrides her Heroic Charge) (Fling cancels her channeling on Keeper's Verdict)”
3251 says “- Q Passive Auto trade unless she has shield or is about to pick it up
- E can still grant Passive if you land it while in her W but you won't dash or be able to recast it for 2 seconds
- Have to kill her in early levels or she will become unkillable
- Bait her Q before trades since it hurts a lot
- E before her R hits so you can dash back to her
- stay away from walls
- her passive auto can proc grasp and hurts a lot
- Her W has a long CD and should be punished when she wastes it
- you can dodge her E knock back if you predict it in time but this is very hard to do
”
LunaticDancer says “Not really a threat, as you're about even as solo characters, but your Maiden gives you the anti-tank edge. And you don't need to worry about the anti-dash field.”
maxlid3 says “Keep your distance. May be weak in the early stages but has a really big dash = easy engage. Keep away from walls since she can stun you if she throws you into them. Stacks armor so it will be hard to kill her in the late game.”
Alekra says “Really annoying, She is really tanky and has alot of dmg. You will most likely not be able to kill her often but neither will she if you play around her E and run out of her second Q.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Although Malphite is more annoying late game due to his attack speed debuff, I think Poppy's laning is really brutal to vs. Early on try to not be in range of her untill she uses her passive shield and try to step on it if she does end up using it on you as it will deny a pretty big shield. Do not stand near any walls unless you want to be cced and lose about 3/4 of your hp. When she uses her Q quickly walk sideways out of it but do not E if her W is on bc you will be briefly cced and take even more damage. Another annoying thing about Poppy, is her hitbox being so small for a tank, it makes it hard to land Qs on her if she dodges well. Go for an all in when her W is down so your dashes do not get interrupted. Lastly, you can windwall her ulti but try not be directly ontop of her when she does because sometimes it will still hit you away.”
Phrxshn says “Avoid being in front Poppy if you want to trade. Also avoid walls to prevent Heroic Charge(E) from stunning you. Try to save Primal Howl for her Keeper's Verdict(R) to prevent use. (Outscaling Edge: Malphite) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Recommended Items: Opt for Defensive Items) (Unstoppable Force cancels her channeling on Keeper's Verdict)”
SpyDaFX says “Super annoying matchup if you decide to go press the attack somewhy, and still very annoying if you go conqueror (you want to go conqueror), dont die before level 6, if your lane doesn't really progresses and u don't get a lead try to roam, when u reach 6 you should look for an all in, but still be careful, her damage is insane, avoid E'ing or trading when her W is up because u cant dash to her. (looks like a big yellow circle that's around her). go Conqueror”
Phrxshn says “Avoid being in front Poppy if you want to trade. Also avoid walls to prevent Heroic Charge(E) from stunning you. Try to save Primal Howl for her Keeper's Verdict(R) to prevent use. (Outscaling Edge: Warwick) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Even) (Recommended Items: Blade of the Ruined King) (Primal Howl and Infinite Duress cancels her channeling on Keeper's Verdict)”
Veng Shotz says “While she may be registered as a tank she still outputs heavy amounts of damage, be sure not to stand close to walls, never let her q double proc on you, dont let her flash e you into a wall if your under half health, and make sure to land your q when she tries to trade with her passive +grasp so you can trade before she picks up the shield.
”
Vandenelis says “you win short trades against her as long as she does not pick up her shield or not throw you into the wall early. Late game you win 1v1 against her and are more useful than her in team fights”
Sporkintahn says “ANNOYING!!! --- Poppy is a fairly easy lane but she can get pretty tanky and has good disengage and utility. --- Don't stand between her and terrain as she can stun you by knocking you into it. --- You can cancel her R with your Apprehend (E) so try and save it for when she charges it up. Don't stand in her Q AoE either so keep moving. --- Just run circles around her and kite with Ghost.”
Lupus_ToplaneMain says “Her q is her main damage source, so dodge it. Her w denies your q and roots you, so its hard for you to hit vitals after your ult. You will have to bait her w, dodge her q and then all - in. But its still not an easy kill, because shes a tank and can tank a few vitals.”
ModelitoTime says “Really annoying matchup. Dont ever E into her because she will just W and push you away. STAY AWAY FROM WALLS. lvl 9+ you can start to hit her hard and get some kills in this matchup, if she Q's you dont stand still move out of it. If she throws her buckler, E towards it to prevent her from getting a shield. ”
nvckxwsky says “Her kit counters your kit in any single way!
Play aggresive lvl 1 and dodge her "coin" (idk how i can name that :/) and fight with her in early game when she uses her w (that grounding thing)
but after just push your lane, roam and ignore her!”
I Am Goliath says “This is one of camilles hardest matchups in my opinion, her W blocks your E which means it's really hard to get stuns and if you ult she can ult you out of it. My best tip for this matchup is to roam and try to get your team ahead, the only advice I can give for 1v1ing her is to E and sit on the wall so she uses her W and then go in on your next E while her W is on cooldown, basically most poppy will cast W right when they see your E so you can just bait out the W, once you have 3-4 items you should be able to splitpush against her but she will still win if she plays it right but you do have the potential to win it if she palys it poorly (if you get your E on her and she doesn't ult you out of your R you can win it.)”
xxskipskipxx says “Take Dorans Shield!
Watch out for her Passive AA and block it with your E !!
Dont stand in her Q since the 2nd part also deals DMG!!
DONT STAND NEAR WALLS OR TOWERS!!! If she catches you with her E into a Stun she will deal alot of DMG!!
Advanced: you can dodge her E into walls if you time your E correctly!!”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Poppy could be a pain in the ass, but you can shut her down quickly by getting BORK > Kraken Slayer. Just avoid standing near walls so that she cant burst you down.”
SethPRG says “The number of times I've fought a Poppy can be counted in single digits, and they were all in Season 10, so I don't have the best advice or knowledge here for Pre-Season, but here goes nothing I guess? Just be careful of fighting near a wall. They can build super tanky with Trinity and still do more damage than you for some reason? Be careful of letting them pick up their shield thing as they well, get a free shield. I'm not sure if you can dodge their ult with yours, probably, but I haven't ever found myself in a situation to test it without throwing away a game lol. You might be able to cancel it if you ult them before they cast it though. Divine Sunderer or Goredrinker is probably best here, probably the latter, as in team fights you'll want to stay alive for as long as possible, just like Poppy. I would build boots based on the enemy team comp and I would get Black Cleaver into Steraks as my 2nd and 3rd item in this matchup.”
laoshin3v3 says “Conqueror or Grasp
Sometimes poppys are very baitable if you stand near a wall to parry her E. If you stand outside of her W and she runs towards you, you can Q+W to dash into it and stun her.”
Breadcrumbs says “Although her lane isnt the worst, she can make your life a living hell in teamfights. Work around her CDs and engage only when she cant knock you up.”
ineptpineapple says “Resistances are annoying, and poppy does alot of surprising dmg, just try to stay back a little and be careful of walls you should be fine.”
aurus666lol says “Her W blocks ur E. Suprising big damage as a tank. her W has bigger cooldown than ur E so you can easly poke her and she wont be able to block as much E as u use ur E.”
Heckin says “PROMISE ME YOU WILL CALL HER POOPY FROM NOW ON. And no this isn't a joke that i put her as an extreme threat, she f**** you up even in a tank build. So try not to tilt. ”
Hyzerik says “Another tank, just try to get bork asap and farm then go in. She won't do much damage and walk over her shield that falls on the ground so she doesn't have one. Watch out for getting slammed into the wall.”
Raideru says “U try to force a lvl 1 all in with your e against her, if that doesn't work past 3+ you should only fight her after she wastes her shield on a minion or when she goes for a cs u can insta q on her preventing her from reacting with her w. Later on u easily outscale her.”
LeSocair says “She's annoying, but you can manage naturally. Just take her of her damage, it's unexpectedly high, the rest comes naturally to you, no big brain needed to fight her.”
SaltCat says “Level 1 you beat her with your passive, level 2 also , level 3 it becomes tricky due to her W, i would suggest you play safer until you get bork, after that you beat her!”
Urgodzilla says “Very tanky and hard to kill because of her spammable shield. She deals surprisingly high amount of damage for a tank. Stay away from walls and use your E to outplay her E or R. Don't waste your E in her W.”
AmericanNut says “She just isn't too strong against you, pro plays have seen her getting more picks, so be mindful of a person who is good with her, she is a CC threat, you can build juggernaut against her, but I'd recommend Mercury treads unless it's a hard AD composition.”
AmericanNut says “Her W will block your W outright, stunning you and allowing free damage. She is seeing a small pick up in pro play as an off tank, or juggernaut. Positioning is her win condition, stay away from being between her and a wall, and when she throws her passive buckler out, try to step on it like you would a bard shrine.”
EU_Toxicity says “You're a good counter to tanks, Poppy is no exception. Before level 6 you can turn most of her trades into favourable all-ins. Stay away from walls and save your E and W for when she uses her W to gain movement speed. After level 6 hold your E to cancel her R so she can't knock you back to fountain. Cleaver is also helpful here as she gets very tanky later on.”
Bombabo says “Poppy does not outdamage you, but she can match you in trades. She will most likely farm and rely on her bulk whenever you engage on her. Try to make fights last as long as you can”
iZeal says “Poppy has strong early game damage but unless you let yourself get slammed into a wall or get poked down by her Qs she will have a hard time. Be aware that she can E into your Q so if you really need the heal, you have to set it up with an E. Otherwise do not get hit by the second part of her Q. She has huge problems disengaging from you, W her during her W or pull her during it, you can use your E to cancel her R. Darius is extremely strong against Poppy throughout the entire game.
DBlade/DShield, Phage/Tabis”
DarkNavarre says “There isn't much Poppy can do against you. Even post-6, because your ult isn't a dash, her W doesn't stop it, so you still have a reliable escape.”
byThiagus says “Es lo mismo que el match de garen pero mas facil, no tiene potencial de kill en vos en ninguna circunstancia, no la dejes farmear, El problema es que asu nivel 6 puede hacer disengage. segunda pagina de runas y espada de doran”
Noodles912 says “Annoying but easy lane. She can push you around the lane, but does not no good damage. Just farm, and outscale her. Your W can block her R.”
Alan234 says “Go PTA (Take cut down) and attack speed or Electrocute
Poppy is deceivingly tanky, so she is difficult to kill. Try not to trade when her passive is up. Dont get close to walls or she will e you. Otherwise you can poke her out, however you will end up scaling about the same. If she all ins you just shroom the wave with ignite and you probably win it”
AWierdShoe says “Shield or avoid her passive auto’s. Trade when her passive shield is on CD. Bait out her Q’s by walking up and back again so they don’t hit you. Don’t stand near walls. Do short grasp trades and basically never use your E except if her W is cooldown or you’re winning a trade and you’re already inside her model so she doesn’t have time to react. If played cleanly you should be winning trades in this match-up.
”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Poppy is really annoying to face, Try to poke her with your Q early game stay away from the walls try to be in the center of the lane so you wont get stunned and fucked. Her W is really annoying since it can stop one of your E's but thats it only one and afterwards you can dash freely around. Avoid getting hit by her Q. Freeze pretty much in lane and wait for jungle ganks because most likely you wont be able to do a lot against her, farm up and scale but give it a try to see how the trades go. Her R is blockable with your W so it can make the difference too in the teamfights. ( Only when charged enough to knock you away but dont stay too close to her when she charges R because it will knock you away just keep a medium distance and it will be blocked. Bork here helps again if u cant sustain in the lane”
Scoothare says “She's pretty lategame so just poke her down, when she tries to pick up her passive thing to get a shield just fall back and don't trade. Don't run close to walls.”
viktoreeu says “Hard counter.
Farm and try to be useful.
Ban her if your team hovers another champion with dashes.
You can try and cheese her early, if you don't want to risk being low hp and her tping back, just go ghost and farm.
win the macro game
tempo ignite”
Saarlichenbog says “Poppy fits the criteria of all of the others listed in this category. She has great sustain in her runes and passive, she outscales you at level 6 as well as at 3 items, and her W completely immobilises you. In tandem with her E which allows her to stick onto you like glue, you end up feeling completely zoned the entire game.”
ItsPaulygon says “She can deny your Q, so as much as possible, when trading, Just try to E beside her. Avoid using your jump if she has it up. Also try to trade if she doesn't have her shield. Once she uses her shield and it runs out, that's the best time to trade. ”
llametekudasai says “hay una pequeña probabilidad de cancelar su e, las mains poppys hacen siempre lo mismo que tradean y suerte, con el item le puedes cortar la huida rápida de su w, pero también es un arma de doble filo, ya que te puede parar el dash ”
Nicklstherealone says “You always will be able to kill her if she engagds you. The problem in this Matchup is your cant engage her because of her W (Dashblock). If she pushes you against a wall you can trade back. ”
NPGRiven says “Poppy is a classic counter pick if you've first picked Riven. She's relatively easy to play and she counters Riven extremely hard. She's tanky, deals a lot of damage and her W will negate any of your dashes, meaning you can't escape or deal damage to her. Your best bet is trying to all in her level 1 with a fast Q combo, killing her in the early levels is your goal, but be careful of her W.”
Raphi0216 says “Try to survive this lane without giving up too much cs. She counters your entire champion with one spell, so don't even try to engage her with E. ”
OffmetaPancake says “Don't let her smack you coming out of a tunnel. Aside from that you guys bonk eachother all game. Play the side lane, if you group she will just bonk you out.”
Frostyfps says “She isn’t that bad in lane but she will make your life miserable in team fights due to her R and W. In lane you can start Q at lvl 1 or E depending on how you want to play. I recommend going with Q and going for passive stacks early to try and fight lvl 1-2 because she is generally pretty squishy before she gets items and levels. However, do keep in mind that she has quite high base damage and you must avoid her Q to have the best chance of winning. Avoid sitting near walls/towers after level 3 as she can stun combo you and you can easily lose more than ½ your hp. Avoid fighting her when she has bramble until you have botrk. With her high base damage and tankiness you don’t stand a chance when she has bramble so you have to wait until you get botrk. You can fight her later on if you’d like but you’d have to counter build her (eg. building botrk cleaver and wits end but this might gimp your team fighting, use your best judgment when building, take into consideration the whole enemy team rather than just your lane opponent).”
Time1Save says “Dodge the game if you playing against Poppy, she can kill you lvl 3\6 she will punish your for every mistake you made. And in teamfights, Most likely it will be much more useful than you.But as long as you play with an advantage, you have to give your team an advantage as well .”
joelspaho121 says “Darius favored.d blade with sorc tree.poppy has reliable cc and can set up ganks perfectly because of it otherwise shes not that much of an issue to deal with.because shes immobile and doesnt have a lot of damage you easily win her.freezing is a great option because she cant farm reliably from afar putting her at a rough spot.also never stand close to walls because she can probably kill you if she catches you on a rough spot.if she picks up her shield her passive cd goes down by an amount so every time she tosses the shield she will be looking to pick it back up.use this to your advantage by predicting her movement and dragging her with your E, try to also step on top of it during the trade so it disappears, this will make a huge difference for you during the trade”
canokum123 says “You can't use your skills in front of this. So just trigger his w and then attack him (be careful about his e, do not stay close to walls.)”
Delvoid says “She will never out trade but is a pain to kill as super tanky. Be careful of the stun into wall + ulti nock up. Makes it easy for her to setup ganks. avoid using E during her W”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Poppy is annoying to go against, but is not a very tough lane to go against, you completely out damage her all game. Just stay away from walls to avoid her stun, and you will do great. ”
TangoVallhala says “Early game damage is insane, look out for her passive and try denying it, play safe, play away from walls, she can shut you down easy, play for 6 and poke her.”
Liko888 says “If the poppy understands how to trade into you, you're pretty much totally fucked. However, you can survive lane by positioning properly and not getting pinned to a wall by her e. You outvalue her levels 9-13.”
qasddsa says “Try not to stand near walls or else she will stun you. Otherwise, she is an easy champion to deal with, just very tanky. Recommended to buy Blade of the Ruined King or Liandry's Torment.”
PH45 says “Hard counter. Her W denies your dashes and also has high base damages, and also just becomes naturally tanky, especially vs AD champions. Farm to your best ability and try to look for roaming opportunities. Building Tiamat will help you shove the lane in, and in general you'll probably want to get a Black Cleaver for this lane for the extra durability and armor shred. Don't stand near walls so that she doesn't lock you down there since you'll most likely have to blow your Flash, or in worse case you might die.”
PH45 says “Don't stand near walls, as she will stun you on them and deal a ton of damage. Also make sure to not use your leaps when she is in range with her W as that will screw you over hard. She will be quite tanky and deals a lot of damage early on so mostly a farm lane, you can poke her with your Q though since she is pretty low ranged.”
AlanVenator says “You should outrade her, the only thing you have to worry about is her W, which can cancel your dash (can be annoying in team fights). Try to avoid the Q poke and stay in the middle of the lane, don't get close to walls.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “FLEET FOOTWORK / CONQUEROR SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Poppy is the type of tank that can straight up beat all the duelist, like Tryndamere, Jax, Fiora whenever they are full build, and somehow she is super strong early on. Look to survive his Q poke in lane but stay in the middle of the lane, avoid the walls at all cost since she can dash to them and if she hits you, she can beat you up early on. I highly recommend just farming and get as many stacks as possible since even with lvl 6 + Sheen powerspike is really hard to kill her. Later on to the game due to the fact Nasus Q has infinite scaling, you will outscale her but she can hold you really well even in late game when she gets some CDR, it's a really hard matchup to survive early on and you must respect her until you get some resistances or else she will run you down.”
SubHuman Filth says “not a hard matchup, dont stand near walls. Any rune is fine really dosent matter.
She is very tanky, expect it.
Dont go for trades when her passive is up.”
Grayified says “Lethal Tempo Runes and build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Poppy is one of the hardest counters in the game to Tryndamere all throughout the game. She is a tough lane bully to play against and in the mid-late game she can deny you from getting onto carries with her W which stops dashes (including your spin.) Her E can knock you back and if you get hit into a wall it deals double damage and stuns you. She is close to impossible to dive unless you got her low before hand. She gains a large shield with her passive auto attack on a 16 second cooldown (you can stop her from getting the shield if you step on the buckler that appears on the ground.) Very early levels though, usually just level 1-2 is your one chance to look for an advantage against her solo. Look to use and abuse heavy trades after building fury on the wave to get good trades into her. Poppy is tanky but does not have sustain. Her q deals 2 ticks of damage so make sure that if she hits her q on you that you side step the 2nd instance of damage. When trading with Poppy or if she is shoving you in, try to avoid being close to walls (when farming under turret make sure to not give her too big of an opening for her to slam you into your own turret.) In the mid-late game against Poppy assuming that you are even in gold with her, you can win allins when she is shoved deep into your side of the lane (after you are 4 items or more), but it is pretty much impossible to dive a poppy. So if you do get the ability to push a poppy in try to rotate and make a play while Poppy is stuck under turret farming the wave you shoved in. If Poppy is a part of teamfights, make sure that you look to focus carries that are not close to Poppy or wait for Poppy to blow her cooldowns before engaging.”
I Am Goliath says “Poppy is really hard to kill because she is so tanky but she shouldn't really kill you either unless she stuns you against the wall somehow and then W's your E, other then that just farm up and try to deny her cs, you might be able to get a kill or pressure her out of lane if she gets greedy for some cs.”
Nabura says “Let her use her passive AA on minions and wait out the shield. Stay away from walls. She should never be landing the 2nd Q damage portion.”
Chili Dog says “Runes: Conqueror, Triumph, Tenacity, Last Stand + Second Wind, Unflinching.
Sub Runes: CDR, Damage, Armor
Summoners: Teleport
If not played correctly Poppy will make the lane feel like playing against a scripting Morgana. Staying sway from walls is #1 priority, I cannot stress this enough. Also, a strategy that I use to beat Poppy is this: tank the E, most likely she will W immediately after to which you will W to stun her, Once she is stunned you can either auto and walk with her until her W falls or you can walk away and trade before her W comes up again. If she gets ahead early look for TP plays to help you have an impact on the map. ”
EntxRecoil says “Lethal Tempo Runes and build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Poppy is one of the hardest counters in the game to Tryndamere all throughout the game. She is a tough lane bully to play against and in the mid-late game she can deny you from getting onto carries with her W which stops dashes (including your spin.) Her E can knock you back and if you get hit into a wall it deals double damage and stuns you. She is close to impossible to dive unless you got her low before hand. She gains a large shield with her passive auto attack on a 16 second cooldown (you can stop her from getting the shield if you step on the buckler that appears on the ground.) Very early levels though, usually just level 1-2 is your one chance to look for an advantage against her solo. Look to use and abuse heavy trades after building fury on the wave to get good trades into her. Poppy is tanky but does not have sustain. Her q deals 2 ticks of damage so make sure that if she hits her q on you that you side step the 2nd instance of damage. When trading with Poppy or if she is shoving you in, try to avoid being close to walls (when farming under turret make sure to not give her too big of an opening for her to slam you into your own turret.) In the mid-late game against Poppy assuming that you are even in gold with her, you can win allins when she is shoved deep into your side of the lane (after you are 4 items or more), but it is pretty much impossible to dive a poppy. So if you do get the ability to push a poppy in try to rotate and make a play while Poppy is stuck under turret farming the wave you shoved in. If Poppy is a part of teamfights, make sure that you look to focus carries that are not close to Poppy or wait for Poppy to blow her cooldowns before engaging.”
Darrkescru says “Runas : Aery , Grasp
Você pode counterar a passiva dela com a cegueira fique longe de paredes depois do level 6 você pode baitar ela numa parede pra estourar um cogumelo aplicando slow e kaitando facilmente”
Swaim says “Poppy is just plain annoying. She’s incredibly tanky, has decent CC with her E- Heroic Charge and her ult. And she can block your Q- The Darkin Blade + E- Umbral Dash combo with her W- Steadfast Presence. Her Q- Hammer Shock damage is also really high and her W- Steadfast Presence passive resistances make fighting her really hard. Try to poke her as much as possible before fighting her as she has no sustain besides her Grasp of the Undying.”
qazx1427 says “Since your E hastes instead of dashing you, Poppy doesn't have any gimmicks to deal with you. She still does a good amount of damage, though, so you do have to be careful. Also, she can charge into you when you're approaching to land a W, so watch out for that.”
Wizbe says “Annoying champion, if you get ganked you can't really escape with your E because of her W. Rushing Ravenous Hydra into this lane allows you to survive and scale. You won't kill her with Trinity Force rush anyway.”
chloe666 says “Hard matchup. It's impossible for you to kill her in lane, as she can stop your dash, thus denying your whole combo.
Poke her in lane, push and roam. She won't ever die.
Don't underestimate her damage, and stay away from walls so she can't stun you. ”
wallobear53 says “She can stop dashes with her W, so try to get as close to her as you can while trading with her and use your dash only when her W is down. Just make sure you don’t position near a wall or it will be really bad for you.
The Passive buckler she drops will give her a shield if she steps on it, but you can do the same to get rid of it. She will be relying on it to win early trades so make sure you step on it to avoid her from getting her shield.
After her quick burst, she has no damage aside from her Auto-Attacks, meaning that taking extended trades (where you don’t get pinned against a wall) will reduce the effectiveness of her burst and give you an advantage over her.
”
Riot911 says “Not a fun champ to go against toplane, her dashing, shield passive, and blocking your jump means you can't really expect to get any kills on her or win lane. Yet even while building tank, she still has the capability to all-in you. I personally ban this champion when i go toplane with kha'zix”
ClanBlade says “Tanky and deals lots of damage and has a way to dash up to you and stun you which makes it hard to get you Q knockup, but after she uses her combo she is useless so use that to all in her and poke her whenever she tries to get her shield. Stay away from walls to make her not stun you. Skip Cauldfield's and rush cleaver to deal with her armour passive on her W.”
Satoyo says “This matchup forces you to play safe, because she basically hardcounters riven with her w. She also is tankier and outdamages you early game.”
Fiora Pogjet says “This lane will be hard in the early game. She will stack armor but does Damage with her Q poke and E. You can try to go for trades if her W is not up. Her E isn't that hard to prarry since she only uses it if you stand next to a wall. As soon as you hit lvl 6 u can win fights easily and prarry her R.”
ModxLoL says “This match up ranges from a 4 to a 5 depending on how meta she is, and if the enemy player only picked Poppy to counterpick you. Similar to Maokai, you have to use W into 3rd Q very often in this matchup if not more. If you don't, she will react to your 3rd Q with her W which will damage you, knock you up, slow you, and ground you. It's also likely you get combo'd into the wall with her E after. It's very important to not let her react to your 3rd Q with it, so only 3rd Q her if she's either out of mana, or you have her stunned already. If you do have to pop her W and get it over with, so you can use your other abilities, use your e, so that it shields the damage from her W and whatever comes after. And obviously don't stay close to walls or you're just asking to die(sadly this includes your own turret too, especially if she has the shield from her passive active).”
Kingarthur720 says “Lethal Tempo Runes and build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Poppy is one of the hardest counters in the game to Tryndamere all throughout the game.

BloodyDream81 says “Un tank à contrôle de plus, tout comme les autres soit vigilantes du jungle et il n'y rien de spécialement compliqué dans le match up, juste deux choses à noter.
Évite les combats proches des murs, cela lui permettrait de te stun, et garde ton E pour son ulti, quand tu la vois charger l'ulti, tu peux l’interrompre en utilisant ton E ce qui la condamne plus ou moins à la mort !”
Dantheman81 says “Poppy can get difficult as the game progresses as she gets very tanky throughout the game. However there are some good ways to kill her early and some stuff to watch out for. Whenever she runs towards her shield, you can trap her. She can reflect away your ghouls with her w so wait until she uses it before you try to use your e. Against hi would recommend the black cleaver build, as your damage will be nonexistent later in the game.”
ChocoChurro says “It's a tank with a high burst damage when she gets to hit her E against a wall. As long as you're able to avoid that, you should win the lane and trades. Her W counters yours but you can anullate her W additional MS with your E.”
Xplor says “You will not have a problem at all playing against Poppy. The annoying thing is that past-6, when you are about to kill her, she will kick you so hard that you will find yourself far away on the summoner rift. (quoting only).”
Darrkescru says “Geralmente ap top ferra ela pois ela quer começar de capa solar e você e ap então fica relativamente facil de jogar, (Nunca fique perto de paredes) e coloque seus cogumelos perto das paredes ”
Angela du Seithr says “Poppy revient un peu à la mode ces derniers temps et pour cause, c'est un très bon Tank. Toutefois... Elle n'aura pas vraiment la possibilité d'être un problème pour vous. Malgré sa forte capacité de duel, le seul de vos sorts qu'elle peut empêcher étant votre W que vous placerez quand elle sera endormie, jouez loin des murs vous vaudra l'incapacité pour la Yordle de riposter efficacement et votre grande mobilité naturelle lui rendra la vie difficile, même une fois Gantelet Givrant complété.”
Alzeidx says “Ultra annoying matchup, she is very tanky and has a huge amount of damage in early,Focus on trading only when you are full RAGE, you might be able to stomp her in early. Go Conqueror and try to wait for her mistake. ”
iTzToniOP says “Poppy was created to make me cry, to be honest. I suffer a lot when facing Poppy. If I try to get closer she runs, if I do it, she will q on the ground and hit me with her passive, slowing and making me lose the trade. Even if the lane phase is over and the game reaches minute 40, she can make you lose the whole game by hitting a home run when you try to engage.”
Alzeidx says “Very hard to kill her, dont trade with her, you cant outrade her and she has a huge sustain, be careful in early, ask for ganks, just farm until lvl 6, then you might have a chance for kill.”
Nyx Adachi says “Te bloquea tu e, puede sacarte de la tf facilmente si ulteas, tradeos potentes en linea, recomendaría iniciar si ves que gasto su w o de lo contrario puede baitearte, ojo si se aleja mucho de su team, deberias focusear al adc en tal caso debido a tu dmg alto con la hidra titanica o defender a tu adc de lo contrario”
JuarezLOL says “its a hard match up and a lot of people are losing to poppy as jax because they dont know that they have to surprise poppy in the laning phase in order to do that you have to fight at lvl 2 and staying close to poppy in all levels but not very close to take his Q dmg done when you are close she cant react in time with W for your Q and if you land your Q you are good to go for a decent trade ”
MateuszNH says “Skill matchup in her favor.
Her tools are literally counter to you but you can beat her if you make your all in unpredictable. If you wanna win this lane try to jump on her in random moments and pray she doesn't knockup you. Safer option is to play around it, she won't use it while u have your E ready to use. The best way to kill her is random all in under your turret after 6, don't forget to be careful if she is low, she get's tankier and can outplay you.”
DirtyDishSoap says “Poppy is shockingly difficult. She does a stupid amount of damage early, can keep doing insane damage with just base stats, and has the ability to dash out of your wall thanks to your mist walkers. Keep her at a distance until you have your core items and only then should you start dueling her.”
Sq_09 says “Scary. She can kill you if she stuns you. Her W and Q make her hard to kite and she has some strong CC combos. You can poke her carefully tho. ”
SabinX says “Play around her W, it can stagger both your W and E, but if played around you will be fine. Also care about her W passive, when she is low hp she gets tankier so respect that.”
Kingarthur720 says “funnily enough shes not a big threat, her W isnt too big a counter to you if you just wait for it to end and then its easy kiting, if she e's you shes most likely going to W in, and if she doesnt just wait for W to run out, if you have PD chances are you wont even need to use your E”
Discord Rengar Mains says “This matchup used to be one of the hardest in the game for Rengar back when she got reworked, since you didn't have your cleansing W back then and her damage were pretty insane for what she was. Nowadays the matchup is more manageable, but beware that the moment you fall behind she will make you useless for the rest of the game.
Simply put, Poppy in the laning phase will seek to bully the crap out of you since her kit counters your to an insane degree since she knows you depend heavily on your snowball to be relevant. You can try fighting her level 1 if you have grasp, but be careful since her passive and Q deal deceptively huge damage and if she picks up the shield then throwing yourself at her is pointless. Lane gets more annoying as soon as you both reach level 3 since she can just stop you from jumping at any time if she pleases, and if she gets you pushed into a wall without you having emp W ready, that's at least 30% of your HP away. However, that's basically ALL she can do: be a meatwall who is a good early to mid game tank who suffers in the late game because of a lack of reliable engages and not great damage (but who is still an issue because she is a great peeler). The only real problems with poppy nowadays is the fact that she sets up ganks super easily in the laning phase and that she is very VERY tanky from very early on. Never go for prolonged trades with poppy because she will win them through facetanking, just hit her a bit with Q and E and save W for when she tries to engage. Never ever use your 4 stacks for anything other than Wing out of her ground or E, because you will just hard lose the lane that way.
TP is recommended since your kill pressure on her is very low even with ignite. Grasp is the best choice overall since it allows you to go stasis, but you can try going conqueror and attempt any bruiser route.”
Itreallyhim says “She can ult you away and carry fights, The walls in your ult serve as walls aswell, She has a shield and is also very strong in 1v1 Situations.
Play smart, Go for long trades and do your best, You can ult her to stop her ult.”
Rivenetto says “Poppy is good against Riven but bad Riven players dont know how to play this matchup.Early game even if she manages to stun you and get Q on you,she will get you to 40-30% hp and 90% players will back off,just run for trade back becouse early game Riven have more damage. After first back dont fight,farm and try to get some sweet teleport on bot lane.Do something else on map when u get lane priority.”
Erenando says “Pain, Pain, Pain. Even though she is a tank, her smashes against the wall hurt badly. Just avoid standing near walls and don't force dives or unnecessary trades. You'll be able to stack up if you don't mess up. If she plays really good, then things are gonna be quite harder and you'll be stressed for sure.”
Anyerlaw says “Poppy, uno de los match ups más difíciles. Te para tu q con el escudo, tiene mucha vida y te pokea con su pasiva. No intentes ganarle, juega safe parkea su e y intenta swapear con el medio o que tu jungler te gankee. ”
Wolfychu says “Honestly that's the matchup that most hate to play. Poppy just cancel your dashes all the time and you do no damage to her. But you can try to kill her level 1 or play safe and try to waste her abilities so you can try to kill her with or with not your jungle.”
Cats4lyfe123 says “Poppy's Steadfast Presence essentially negates your E and ultimate, so try to bait it out before going in. Try to poke with Q and empowered auto attack and don't go near walls.”
ShinyEmo says “Guinsoo's Rageblade is a must-have. Blade of the Ruined King works very well too. Forget about killing her in early game and stay away from the walls. After 1-2 items, she is a tiny threat. Use your Q to dodge her Q's and R. ”
lugzinho says “Haven't fought many Poppys but i do know some things:
If you Q (dismounted) when she E's, you won't get knockbacked by her E.
If you try to Q (dismounted) and she activates her W you will get a big beatdown since you are now grounded.
If it gets too tanky to the point she wins fights, just push the leane and look for roams with your R or TP (if you brought it)”
FadeMini7 says “Fighting against a Poppy is hard because of her W and it counters your E if you're against one try to bait her W and pretend you're about to E so when her W is on cooldown you can now use your E and auto her or call your jungler for a gank”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “Playing against a Poppy is a really good matchup for you. You can poke her out of lane and can cancel her dash. It is basically instant so you are going to have to predict when she is going to use it, but if she does use it you can punish her for not getting the wall stun and just auto attack her while she tries to disengage. Poppy scales well so late game you will have a tough time killing her so rather poke other champions and try to keep her away from your ADC or midlaner.”
ForgottenProject says “Don’t get hit by both parts of her Q, walk out of the 2nd part if you don’t dodge the 1st part
Don’t let her stop your Q with her W
You will almost always lose the trade if you let her Block her Dash
If you are between her and a wall, she will try to use her E to stun you
In this case, Parry the E to stun her
Poppy’s main damage is her Q and her Grasp
Q is a Skillshot so focus on dodging it, and cut her damage by more than half
Like most tanks, she can build Bramble Vest and Ninja Tabis and if she does, she’s unkillable for all of laning phase, so just farm what you can”
Speez says “OH GOD, IF YOU EVER SEE THIS THING IN YOUR GAME GOING TOP GOOD FUCKING LUCK, she can w your jump and does so much dammage and can peel for adc, i dodge into this thing”
SirVermillion says “Poppy's kit literally counters yours, but you still outdamage her easily because most Poppy's just build tank items. Just build lethality and bait her abilities then engage with your E. ”
Somoko says “If you're to meet a Poppy at top lane, it's very hard to try to get a kill against her because of her W. If she dash-blocks you, expect to die if she's at an item advantage.”
Trial_By_Barrel says “May be hard to kill but her kill pressure is nothing compared to your oranges. Play aggressive and be wary for enemy jungle ganks.”
Pedrokis says “É um pick muito safe contra o Aatrox, ela não vai ir tanto pra cima mas fica difícil de dar engage nela. / Se o escudo dela cair no chão, tenta campar ele com o seu Q pra não deixar ela pegar e dar um dano de graça nela. / O W dela pode sim ser um baita problema, cancelando o seu E tanto pra um engage ou pra uma recuada, então fica atento. / Ult muito chata pra te dar disengage; tenta usar o E pra baitar ou desviar.”
Joaking says “She can dive you easily in early game, so don't stay in lane if you have 30% hp or less.
She can break your combo with her W, so try to bait it and go back. Her W has more than 20s cd. Thats the chance you have to long trade against her.
She stills can break your third Q with her E, so, don't fast combo that fast, and be a little patient. ”
TheBiskoppen says “Poppy only has the upperhand when she has w up, remember she has a lot of base armor because of her passive. Once she has some items use dice on her to shred her armor”
BeautifulWinter says “I like Poppy and Poppy doesn't much care for me so what to do is stay away from walls and play passive prior to level 6. Once you are 6 you can dodge Poppy's ult with yours as well as kill her very easily.”
Big Belly Bop says “You have range, poke, and can deny her from CS. She has no mobility so look for coordinated ganks with your jungle/mid. Don't stand next to walls and try to get as much stacks as possible. Flash + TP, Doran's Blade, Sustained Damage rune page.”
ExfIamed says “Aside from being a tiny rock shes pretty easy, just dont get near walls and W when she slams the hammer down on you, or bait her into slamming you into a wall while you're E'ing and also W the stun so you can Q her afterward.”
Loevely says “Why did they buff this hoe? Another really hard matchup. She doesn't have the same kill potential as Darius, but she has the tank stats and CC tools to completely dump on you. Grasp and W max only. ”
Defensivity1 says “Be carefull before level 6, once you are level 6 feel free to lock her up in your cage and all in her avoid trades before level 6 and throw as much ghouls at her as you can.”
mightydylan101 says “Poppy can kill you early but you should dominate this lane through the poke and you can dodge her abilities pretty easy. Make sure to punish her for farm and you should win the trades.”
ProgettoYorick says “Poppy is strong, unfortunately our W benefits her as well ..
Don't lose too much life in earlym, it's up to you to hit it with the ghouls. In late if you play well, you will be able to do them fair damage.
OTP tip: Stay away from the walls!”
MrDenone says “Her "W" blocks your "E" + If you jump on a wall and you're in her range, she can just stun you and put you into a horrible situation. You have to play safe against her. Also her "R" can push you out of your ultimate so be safe. ”
Karnan says “Rarely seen picked. Just a brute tank who has a strong 1-5. Consider just taking Conqueror and scale. Poppy scales poorly and her kill pressure is low. Don't fight, just farm. ”
yetusek says “Fleet Footwork Runes. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Poppy is one of the hardest counters in the game to Tryndamere all throughout the game. She is a tough lane bully to play against and in the mid-late game she can deny you from getting onto carries with her W which stops dashes (including your spin.)

OneMustFall says “Stay away from walls and you're good. :P You probably won't be killing her once she starts getting tanky but she won't be killing you either. You should still be able to poke her out and take her tower without a ton of trouble.”
Nightblue33 says “If she doesn't have her passive shield, then you should be able to trade pretty well. Try to bait out her W because it can stop your dash.
”
Ze mentira says “Max Q. Rune: Comet Page.
start corrupt potion and back with dark seal and doran's ring to a good poke.
//if she does magic resistance items, you will never kill her.”
Hamstertamer says “Absolute skill matchup, and by that I mean total stat check. Build armor (she desls %HP physical damage), typically IBG/frozen heart, kite or deny her shield, and you can 1v1 her.”
Chromuro says “She brings the battle to you, so it's all ok. Maybe when she goes full bruiser can be a nuisance, but there aren't that many poppys in the world, even less bruiser poppys because tanks disappeared (I wonder why-). Make her waste her shield attack and stay away from walls if you are not sure of what you are doing.”
HKRV says “Her early game is insane. Will poke you a lot with her shield. Stay away from walls as her E stuns you. Keep in mind W can block your E if you chase her or her chasing you. Keep trades short. ”
Aizo says “Difficult for you to kill her, in the earlygame she will dump on you because of her Q's %max hp damage that is quite easy for her to spam on you, she can also turret dive pretty safely due to there being many walls to stun you on. Be very careful of her earlygame threat”
litboijustinx says “She does get quite tanky which is why its best to run Conqueror into this matchup. Like any other tank matchups, I would focus on getting Black Cleaver ASAP.”
Lynboe says “Cette mignonne petit guerrière ne peut survivre face à tant de cruauté une fois le niveau 4 atteint, un simple rush Tabi Ninja et elle ne pourra plus vous battre, si elle essaye de vous avoir n’oubliez pas qu’elle perd les longs trades et qu’elle n’a pas d’escape, évitez simplement de combattre près des murs car vous n’aurez pas le temps de l’attraper sur le trade et vous gagnerez à 100% le un contre un.
Afin d’éviter de se faire trop agresser par le passif de cette petite yordle il est conseillé de commencer avec un Doran’s shield.
”
messketchup says “Despite having to play passive, pick a Doran's blade to enable you to lasthit properly under tower. Don't go in his range just to get those 1-2 minions and ask for ganks. Stay away from walls so she can't stun you and don't let her get her shield. Poppy is bad at farming and Darius is great at punishing her for it. Her passive can't stop the dunk.”
LiquidBlyr says “Everything about this champion is cancer. Stay away from walls so she can't stun you (note she can also stun you on towers much like your E). Do not dash away when she uses her W (movement speed with dash-stun-ring) and try to not let her Q proc twice on you.”
Angela du Seithr says “Une bonne Poppy ne vous laissera pas la stun, mais il est facile de la bait si vous jouez intelligemment. Si vous avez un duo jungler AD, ne vous acharnez pas à essayer de la tuer et aidez les autres lanes.”
Sukay says “Very annoying to get kills against. Do NOT jump on her when she has her circle up. Walk over her shield thing if it doesn't put you into a situation where she can stun you against a wall.
Mainly, don't ever get stunned agains't wall.”
zuiop21 says “Poppy's extreme CC and toughness can make Kled's work a bit hard.
Try fighting and getting the lead early.
Poppy usually outscales Kled.”
M2 Jizu says “No se que decir contra este Matchup, no es muy complicado, no te pegues mucho a las paredes para que no te stunee y recuerda que no puedes usar tu E cuando su W está activa.”
mahlightning says “She will win if she fights you in almost every situation. Her W will stop your dash entirely and she can count with a dash of her own with a very similar effect. Her percent of max health is also easier to land. Your main advantage is you have better aoe. But that is not quite as useful in lane ”
ImpossibleLogic says “An odd ball of a pick. Poppy is a CC controller if you allow her to get ahead of you. If she rushes you, you can easily stop her rush with Q and continue to follow up with the other Q's and W for an easy kill. Allow her to rush you and stun, your going to have a difficult time.”
Brentard says “Really annoying to lane against. If she builds armor there isn't much you can do to damage her. best to try roaming early and coming back topside to spin farm under turret to reset/push lane. ”
NoobLikesGames says “She negates your e, she gets you off of her backline, she pokes you endlessly, and her Stubborn to a Fault (W passive) can make her really hard to kill sometimes.”
DrMoneybags says “Poppy is very good at making bruisers useless. She can't normally kill you unless you mess up, but you also can't kill her very easily. Once you get some armor-pen along with conqueror, it shouldn't be too bad of a matchup midgame. Just make sure you don't eat too many Q's from her or get wall stunned when you dismount.”
Arcthunder says “Poppy top is also rare, but possible. Don't line up near walls, and keep in mind the she can block your Jousting and the aftermath of Chaaaaaaarge!!!”
The_CuItivator says “Your everyday tank who can easily set up ganks and is a pretty well rounded champ. Keep in mind to stay away from obstacles as his e can wreck you.”
Khazem says “Tougher than she seems, she is incredibly durable with a lot of base damage. Look to abuse her early on before she has any magic resistance and generally try to shield her ranged passive spam (the one where she tosses her shield at you)”
ElleryTheViking says “Pretty free lane as long as you stay away from walls. Same as usual, poke her down with E and Q, she has no escapes so if she oversteps you should be able to kill her cause all she can do is tackle you back bringing her with you. Post 6 just ult ghost and all in with e q w and her ult will be worthless. ”
SynergyXO says “i put it as even, because ive had time where i stomp poppy, and times where poppy stomps me. skill match up in my opinion. dont let her pin you into wall. dodge her Qs on the ground. try to get her to waste passive auto on minion.”
Naniboi101 says “Has a w that prevents Fiora from dashing to or away from her. Poppy's q has a good slow and really spammalbe making her good at skirmishing with you. E is pretty hard to parry and if you do she might go through you and then you can't stun her. ”
E61K says “Start Doran's Blade and go for Conqueror. Hopeless matchup for Poppy. Just make sure you don't stay near wall so you don't get stunned. Other than that your Kit completely destroys her. Your E cancels her ult and she has no real escape she can only go in. Save your pull to cancel her Ult post-6.”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Tanky, W cancels dashes, Great disengage. Weaknesses: Melee, out-scaled. Pretty tanky and has a dash that can push you into walls and can be chained with a potent combo. Even though the dash is fast, it is possible to riposte it. Once you are able to riposte her dash she becomes a lot less of a threat. Btw, if you see her charging up her hammer for her ult, be ready to riposte it as well. This makes her waste her ult and leaves her with little disengage. Another tip is the Q+W combo or “Slide Parry” where you can purposefully Lunge into her W and Riposte at the same time to reflect a stun back to her. If you want to see a demonstration of this, there is a video down towards the bottom of the guide in the “Tips” Section. One last note about this matchup is that tower diving her is never a good idea especially if you get pinned into a wall. At that point you're essentially dead. Only do this if you are 100% sure you can kill her and come out alive.”
Miracle Matter says “This champion is just annoying. You will notice that, without any skill expression at all, never stunning you against a wall or landing Q2, she can still just point-and-click beat you up while shrugging off most of your damage. What's more, her W movement speed makes landing your stun very difficult.
However, once you have Zz'Rot, you can 1v1 her fairly easily. Just respect her threat until then. Would recommend a Liandry's Torment versus her last.”
SeaWeeb says “Her tankyness combined with her stun can shove you out of lane hard but she lacks constant/reliable gap closing. She can throw her shield at you and poke you if you are not careful. Keep back and play safe. Stay under tower if you need to.”
Sion says “You can destroy her pre 7. But after 7 her shield CD decreases meaning that you cannot outdamage her Q spam. Just start roaming at that point and before that just shove her in.”
TheNecromancerr says “It's a hard matchup because of her tankiness and also her damage can be insane. Make sure not to stand close to the walls. Engage her once she wasted her W since otherwise you can't dash on her and try to deny her from picking up her shield. ”
Proxxecube says “Still kinda stupid, but less so. The only truly annoying part of Poppy's kit is her ability to block your dashes. However, if you can manage to do a Q+W, then you can stun her, and continue fighting.”
heyitsRainex says “You can't win her. Her W denies your entire combo starter (your E), her Q shreds HP and her passive can nullify damage (if she picks the buckler up).
Try helping your team secure kills on the other side of the map.”
E61K says “Get PD, build Bork and then finish IE. As long as you ult asap you will kill her doesn't matter if she is full armor. Avoid dashing around her when her W is up to avoid getting cucked, avoid being near walls, windwall her ult and if she doesn't have ult windwall her passive shield. Deny her the shield if you can. If you think you can fight her Ult as soon as possible to get your bonus armor pen. Otherwise building some armor and health will make it so that even with her good base damage she will have trouble killing you and it will buy you enough time to DPS her. That matchup used to be harder, now it's just whatever.”
BreadyToCrumble says “Whenever I lane against Poppy I always underestimate her damage! Stay away from the walls otherwise she'll push you in and you'll be stunned. Also be aware of her passive, it's a ranged attack. If she has it up she can poke you pretty well and she'll also get a shield to negate your poke, so wait for her to use it on a minion before engaging. Also let her blow her W before you try to hookshot onto her for the stun, as it'll completely block your E.”
ReformedLavahit says “Can be beaten if you play the matchup well. Just try to bait her w and you should be fine if you position yourself nicely in order to not be stunned with her E.”
Zachlikespizza says “You should be able to out damage her once you get black cleaver. The only problem is that she can ult you away when you ult, overall giving you less kill pressure.”
Demon Lord AC0 says “You can't E through her W, and for that reason she can shut you down very hard. In lane poke her with Q, rush Bork with Tabi and just try not to get stunned into the wall. She can't outdamage you in the late game, but she can set you up for an easy kill on you”
joelblack says “Tanky as a bitch, with a ridiculous engage. Her base damage is pretty shit but if she gets her abilities off she will cunt punt you to death. You can either fight tank with tank or just be safe and poke her, but you won't get far. Go tank and keep your distance.”
Ashnard says “Poppy is one annoying tanky midget. You have very low kill pressure on her and she can chunk you pretty if you position near walls.You can force trades on her thanks to superior range, but you can only really go for all ins if her w is down. Dodge/Cancel her ult above all else since it gets you out of the fight and wastes your revive.”
CamilleN1 says “You will be unable to use your E for engaging or disengaging and missing that microstun, attack speed and a spot in the enemy backline”
galvapheonix says “Poppy can get difficult as the game progresses as she gets very tanky throughout the game. However there are some good ways to kill her early and some stuff to watch out for. Whenever she runs towards her shield, you can trap her. She can reflect away your ghouls with her w so wait until she uses it before you try to use your e. Against hi would recommend the black cleaver build, as your damage will be nonexistent later in the game.”
Caled says “Although Poppy is someone rarely seen in the jungle it has been coming up more and more as a reliable pick into Season 2021. Her Steadfast Presence (W) prevents you from using your Reaping Slash (Q). As Kayn, when taking fights into Poppy, try to wait out her W before going for Q’s. Playing Rhaast into poppy is very easy for Kayn mid/late game but be careful playing Blue as she can prevent you from getting onto backlines. Overall, use your ability to early farm to your advantage and play for teamfights.
”
Riealone says “Poppy can have some burst damage in early/early midgame, so don't underestimate her. And be aware of her W, it can stop your E dash (not running part, so you can just press it without jumping). It can be just annoying, but nothing more ”
KamiKZ says “This match up is Poppy favored. There is not much you can do against Poppy´s W. Tip: Don´t stay besides walls since poppy can push you into them and stun you. ”
UDYSOF_OCE says “Poppy destroys Jarvan in fights. She cancels your E-Q instantly and runs you down permanently. While also being able to stun you on your R walls and disengage with her R.”
Arfreezy says “Very annoying matchup since she can rush armor tank items and really counters you in skirmishes by denying dashes. In this matchup I would recommend getting Blue Smite to kite since you can't rely on E or R for movement and building a scaling or anti tank build to deal with Poppy in skirmishes. Play efficiently and play to scale as you would versus other tanks. Playing opposite side of the map early is best.”
Ejsner says “Conqueror suggested. Poppy is a pretty disgusting matchup against Rengar, however I still think Graves deserves a permaban more over Poppy as Graves is more meta, and you're more likely to be vs a Graves in the jungle. If you leap on Poppy, (or attempt to) she will just W, which will completely stop your W, and slow you for a shit ton of your movespeed. Afterwards, it allows Poppy to set up a stun into the wall since she has more movespeed over you, and then once she stuns you, she can R you which knocks you up, and then Q you which just slows you. Gg, you're dead. :"D”
Pusi Puu says “No counterplay besides EoN. Wait for her W to run about before you engage or make sure your EoN blocks it, otherwise she cc locks you to death.”
SoSheolH says “Broken in jungle. She's tanky, high damage, high speed, has a spell shield and armour penetration, since she builds Divine Sunderer. Personally, I'd dodge Poppy jungle games no matter what you're playing.”
metalhydra273 says “Poppy is a rare jungler, but has ways to keep you out of fights and can just be unkillable in a lot of ways. Avoid fighting her and look to kill her back line or have your team burst her down as she is vulnerable to your ult. Learning the timing of ulting her (or even one of her teammates) as she tries to eliminate you from a fight can net your huge rewards, as at worst you temporarily even the exchange, and in many cases will give you a free kill.”
liserith says “Nearly impossible to duel at any point in the game. If she gets on top of you, her W prevents you from Q'ing away, and also prevents engages. Kindred is typically forced to play around walls for free damage, but Poppy's E punishes that HARD. A light charge of her R can also send you out of your ult and her passive makes it extremely difficult to duel her. ”
DemacianStandard says “Although not a common pick, it is one that directly counters Jarvan by removing his E+Q from any fight. Only engage if other teammates are present and you can spare the use of your ultimate. ”
Dopamine_influx says “Annoying as hell before edge of night because of W, but you're stronger 1v1. If she doesn't expect you on scuttles, just go for triple Q on first scuttle, and you will snowball from there. She's annoying in skirmishes (W).”
DarkArbalist613 says “A good poppy will try to fight you in the jungle so she can stun you against a wall. She does a lot of dmg and his pretty hard to kill, and her W keeps you from using Q, so you cant rely on wall jumps to beat her. Like most other champs, just play off her cooldowns and you win.”
DarkPit59 says “Poppy dispose de très bonnes statistiques défensives, peut vous étourdir avec sa charge héroïque, vous contrer votre E renforcé, et vous renvoyer à votre base. Prenez garde à ne jamais utiliser votre E renforcé tant que son Z n'a pas cessé, au risque de perdre une part énorme de votre burst.”
Sorrowful Prince says “Her whole kit takes out your hookshot which is your most important tool. Her clear is faster as well and she is really dominant in the midgame. Be careful to not get counterganked and try to not face her in fights. If your team doesn't snowball you have to scale.”
Nico449c says “You will be able to burst her down and win fights against her try invade poppy early at lvl 3 or counter gank her. If you dont stand near a wall you will win any 1v1 fight against he since she wont be able to stun you with her e also a little sidenote when she uses her w dont use q since it will dmg you and knock you up.”
McDank says “You straight up beat her in 1v1. Just don't let her catch you by surprise out of position and be wary of her stun if you are standing next to terrain. Counter jungle when you know where she is on minimap.”
VF PentaMasteR says “Poppy, especially in early game, will be pain if she decides to invade your jungle, because of her E + Q combo, and the ability to block your Q if you try to chase her. If Poppy is feeling uncomfortable, she can also knock you on the other side of the planet with her R. Beware of her.”
today ill feed enemy team says “This is a farming lane, if she do an all in, just fight back against her, she doesn't have any chance to duel against a Udyr, i say this because i have maestry 7 with Poppy, it's one of my mains, she will just need to build tank against you, so take care about her building.”
Deltix31 says “Peut protéger plusieurs de ses alliés de votre Q, elle vous empêchera d'initier les teamfights à la légère.
Tips : Essayez d'éviter d'engage quand Poppy est proche de ses alliés.”
WiskeyANDGin says “i dont really know what to say about this matchup in particular, its a tank champ with cc,u cant q in her w so try to w , basics ult, dont stay near walls and ult when she ults so u deny her ult”
XKhaimeraX says “She can't normally kill you unless you mess up, but you also can't kill her very easily. Once you get some armor-pen along with conqueror, it shouldn't be too bad of a matchup midgame. Just make sure you don't eat too many Q's from her or get wall stunned when you dismount.”
Violzandre says “It's very rare to see in jungle, like panth and naut, just a tank that can use tornmail, wait for his team, and do dmg that you can heal with your lifesteal.
Your build is great against tanks without tornmail, be careful with her cc, that's all.”

Tips Against Poppy in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Vapora Dark says “Broken bullshit. Poppy has so much free damage and stats along with a strong CC bruiser kit it's disgusting. Her passive allows her to poke and take easy trades, her Q does stupid damage if you sit in both ticks of it. Her W means she can pick all the fights, either running away or running in (whilst also making her tankier). Her E is a super strong wall stun that's CD is way to low for it's power, so avoid walls as if it was a vayne or graves. Her ult is god tier disengage if charged, or a point blank malph ult for engage if insta popped. Abuse the fact she has no range unless her passive is up, try and contest her buckler and attack the enemy ADC as she has no direct support, like Leona.”
HoesBeforeBros69 says “Warcrime Poppy is a powerful and dangerous foe exspecially when played full lethality. Her spells deal tons of dmg and with her status as one of the most feared mercenaries of the modern age she won‘t flinch no matter how strong her opponent is. There is however a small gap between her q and e animation that you can probably use. Not sure tho, im only Bronze 2 but as a strong, independant male/ female/ diverse/ etc. you can probably use said window to run for your life. Don‘t mess with that morbid midget for she will rip everything out of your body when she‘s ahead.”
QueerJunk says “Can stop your dash. Is generally to tanky to 1shot. Contains Hard CC to destroy you or just knock you out of the fight with her ult, when you ult.”
LupinTheCat says “Poppy isn't that much of a threat, she's hard to kill but apart from that she doesn't do much, she will disrupt your frontline, so if you see her preping her ult silence her if possible”
Eccentricks says “As a Poppy support player, she is still good in the bot lane and still as hammery as ever. As Twitch, I have never fought one, but she can be dangerous, as I have have fought twitchs as her, and they don't handle well against her ult and E.”
NinJoshPanda says “Since every one of your Auto Attacks lets you dash with your passive, Poppy can effectively stop you from using your AA or Q with her "Steadfast Presence" ability.”
