Tips Against Poppy as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Minima141 says “Poppy is one of the hardest matchups for Rakan because her Steadfast Presence (W) directly prevents your dash abilities. Since Rakan relies heavily on mobility to engage and reposition, this ability can completely deny your engages if used correctly. Her Heroic Charge (E) can also punish aggressive positioning by pinning you against terrain. Many Rakan players lose fights by trying to engage while Steadfast Presence (W) is active. The lane becomes much more playable once Steadfast Presence (W) has been used or expires. Without this ability, Poppy has far fewer tools to stop your engage or control your movement during fights. This creates a short window where Rakan can pressure trades or force favorable engages. Because Poppy’s ability to deny dashes is extremely powerful against Rakan, patience and cooldown tracking are very important in this matchup. Avoid committing while her anti-dash ability is available. • Do not engage while Poppy’s Steadfast Presence (W) is active.”
kampfgroupe says “I HATE HER. SHE CAN CANCEL YOUR E WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY MAKES YOU DEAD. Roam and focus the ADC when possible”

Gaylaxy says “Sejuani shares the same weakness as other engage supports against Poppy. The matchup is still playable but requires patience. Avoid opening with Q unless Poppy’s abilities are unavailable, or look for engages using Flash and Q to bypass her disruption.”

Joxuu says “Abuse her being a melee and stay away from walls. She'll be able to start check you later so you want to gain a lead by weaving your auto attacks and creating space in lane by using your range against her.”

kallil30 says “Ela tem dificuldade em chegar perto, e precisa de paredes para atordoar, a qual você tem seu E para contra-atacar.”

That pyke otp says “Like Sylas, support Poppy isn't very popular, but if you happen to go against it, note that her W cancel your E and provides her a nice amount of tankiness when low. Her early dueling potential is surprisingly good, so don't be a fool. Counter: Use your E more defensively on lane, if you use it to engage, she can just cancel it and you are just a sitting duck. On teamfights, take care to not be canceled and try not to be hit with her R.”

Nobreav says “ Check Poppy's W when using W-Q combo Poppy's W (Steadfast Presence) blocks Alistar's W (Headbutt) dash and knocks her up. If Poppy uses W, do not dash; wait or chain into another ability. Evade Poppy's Wall Slam with E Poppy's E (Heroic Charge) stuns if it hits a wall. When Poppy tries to use E, use Alistar's E (Trample) ghosting effect to avoid the wall slam, or push Poppy away with W.”

saucyyyy says “Very high damage, Her W counters your engages and she's much stronger early. She'll just ult you off her ADC and then 2v1 yours. To counter this, you can E through her R as well as her E. If you're inside the Poppy W you can E without getting cancelled. Stay away from terrain otherwise she'll just stun you.”
Urgot Support Season 15 by saucyyyy | Urgot Player
Alchemyr says “Her W stops your E, which is brutal. Never E into her unless W is down, period. Instead, walk up, threaten W-taunt range, and auto + passive proc for short trades. In skirmishes, you're often better as peel – taunt Poppy when she tries to run through your team, rather than trying to out-engage her.”
Fear The Jester says “Skill matchup. Buffer her E with your Q, Buffer her knockaway ult with your Q. bait her into Eing you into boxes, you can still Q when she uses her W.”

TheMild1 says “Your standard tank v tank matchup. She won't do enough damage to you. Push waves, take plates and wait for item spikes.”

Jellybombs says “Poppy is not that hard to deal with, but her ult disengage is too strong”
Immortal Tank Mordekaiser! by Jellybombs | Mordekaiser Player
Saneryus says “Pay attention to your positioning according to where poppy is and the walls. Poppy''s gameplan is quite straightforward. 1. She short trades with her dash in and pokes you with ranged auto 2. Slams you against a wall and stuns you to deal lots of damage. You will lose every extended trade against her pre-6. Short trades only. Once, level 6, you can start to trade evenly. Just make sure when she picks up her shield from her ranged auto, to wait it out before trading. Once level 11, you will auto win as long as you're even. Keep in mind when farming under your turret, she might try and slam you into your turret or wall for a quick dive and run away with shield. Again, pay attention to positioning relative to walls/turrets. DShield Standard PTA Flash/TP Q Max”
PokeRoyal2007 says “Although Irelia works well against tanks, Poppy is quite an exception. Her W can cancel your Q as it throws you back, and if she manages to stun you, consider yourself dead. Absurd as hell. ”

TENSION019 says “Take Grasp, Doran Shield, Flash, and Ghost. Poppy deals damage based on your health, which makes her a difficult matchup for Tahm Kench. Respect her and wait for her to make a mistake. If you use your ultimate at the right time when she casts hers, you can actually fly away together.”
The River King by TENSION019 | Tahm Kench Player
zwartebliksem says “Flash + Teleport You can't ever really go into a Poppy, since she can easily stop you with her W. She wants to poke you down with her passive, but it has lower range than your Q. If you can get a Q onto her, look to stick. Often, she will panic and use her W to stop the pull. Wait it out, then use your E. ”

TemoOnlyIfOK says “Frequency: 3/10 Annoyance: 2/10 Difficulty: 3/10 Summs: FLASH TP Runes: DAMAGE O2: NO Strat: Stay away from walls, and safe your Q for her passive aa. Focus on farming, so she uses more Qs on the wave rather than looking for you.”

theteemstress says “she does unfair damage for a tank but you outscale so hard its fine, take grasp and sidestep her q to survive, then scale by any means necessary.”
