Instead of outdamaging her get MR?
Hexdrinker for examlpe (dunno if building an early 3rd item Banshee to counter her is a good choice).

I don't think there's any real way to beat a poppy like that. Just focus on farming and only going aggressive when your jungler is gonna gank.


poppy outscales riven into the game, you can't really just farm, and going aggressive only when your jungler ganks is pretty obvious, most good players can pick up on that


but in regards to full armor poppy, try running a Wit's End, it deals magic damage and should dampen a little bit of her damage output

Wit's End vs Maw of Malmortius, definitly Maw on Riven.

Agreed.

AS is a terrible stat on Riven.

Aggressive = slam Riven's head in the wall then proceed to ******** her with your jungler.

The fact that you even think it's something else makes me wonder..

People don't run Wit's End top simply for the MR. If they did Hexdrinker would obviously be a better option, it always has been cost effective as an MR/Damage item, even before Maw. But people run Wit's End for the bonus magic damage from the proc in addition to the MR. This makes it difficult to just stack armor against them.

I don't think anything you said in this post was even remotely connected to league except Poppy and jungler. I don't even understand what your post means, care to elaborate?

As a Poppy player: You can't beat Poppy in lane unless you get a ridiculous advantage somehow or the Poppy is just flat out bad. My suggestion is:

- Push lane and go roam, punish Poppy that she can't push as fast. If she follows you when roaming, she will lose a lot of farm - then simply circle around, back to the lane to push and don't get killed. Don't try to fight anything while she is following you. Grab objectives such as the Buffs and Dragon, counterjungle or maybe even gank bot/mid a few times. With that strategy, you have to make your roaming count in other lanes, as Poppy is freefarming - but not contributing to anything till around 20min.

- I don't advise to switch with the AP, since Poppy beats most of those

- Grabbing magic resist is advised over grabbing armor against Poppy. Most of Poppys harass will be her Q, which is all magic.

- Maybe even get teleport to have more globals presence (But not having ignite severly lowers your chance of killing Poppy)

the idea should be to push her to the turret all day
with riven you cant beat her in trades but poppy has no way of wavecontrol!

Keep the waves pushed and take the jungle/go roam. Thats the strategy i use vs a good poppy.
That way she will get some farm but you will be able to make something happen midlane/get an early dragon.

Ganking poppy is rarely a good idea since she can just ult one of you and/or slam her way out of there
