Poppy?

[quote=NicknameMy]Actually, why nobody plays [[poppy]]? She has the potential to carry the game like [[tryndamere]] with a nearly similar ulti which lasts for 8 instead of 5 seconds. Just build [[wriggle's lantern]] for sustain at top, [[berserker's greaves]],[[trinity force]], [[phantom dancer]], [[the bloodthirster]], [[the black cleaver]], [[infinity edge]](you can replace the position of this with [[the bloodthirster]]). Focus with your ult the enemy tank after he used his initiating CC. Then just rofl the enemy carries with damage like [[tryndamere]]. Without being able to be cc'd or damaged. The only problems [[poppy]] has: [list=1] [*] [h2]Sustain at Top lane[/h2] [[Poppy]] has no form of own sustain. But, there is hope, she generates passive armor for every attacks she makes, so he is a great counter to physical damage champs. Also, after you got [[wriggle's lantern]], sustain is no longer a problem. [*] [h2]Mana cost[/h2] The mana cost of [[poppy]] are ridiculous high for that low mana pool. I think she needs a fix like [[sion]] at this. Or they should increase her base manaregen. [*] [h2]Farming?[/h2] Many say, farming as poppy is hard. Well, it isn't at all at top lane. You can go with AD Quints, because you are an crit carry(searz^^) and then last hitting is the easiest thing. If you think you miss one, you can use [[Devastating Blow]] to get it. Actually, farming is very easy. [/list] She also can get with ease to her opponent with [[Heroic Charge]] and hit them with [[devastating blow]] like a crit of [[tryndamere]]. Another thing is, that your damage is splitted in halve with magic damage and physical damage. You can't be counterbuilded in the lane with resists. So why nobody plays dat goddamn [[poppy]]? [h2]What I would change on poppy[/h2] I would definitly remove the capped damage from [[devastating blow]]. This makes actually no sense at all. The mana cost of it could be also lowered to 45. Or should be scaling with the level by 35/40/45/50/55. Just look at [[siphoning strike]]. Also I would increase her Mana to: 280 at lvl 1, 40 mana per lvl, 960 at 18. [[poppy]] actually starts with 215 Mana, which is very bad... And scales with 30 per level, which is bad, too. She is at 3. last place of most mana.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Poppy is prolly one of the hardest carrys out there, once you got Trifore you do the rolling. But it's a hard way to get there. I'd play her top btw, she's actually pretty decent there.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]So, why people flaming [[poppy]] to not be viable and call anybody noob, which picks her, steals all the buffs from her and deny her until she is useless?[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]You are aware that [[devestating blow]] rips anyone to shreds that is hit by it right? Now you want to remove the cap on that ability? Uh no..not a good idea.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Well, this only increases the damage to high HP tanks, enemy carries wouldn't feel it at all. [[Poppy]] would also counter atmog's this way.^^[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]Poppy's always been my favorite champion. As long as you can get the farm for a triforce + DFG or a lich bane + DFG you're pretty unstoppable. I personally prefer to play her as AP since her core is cheaper and easier to farm up and her burst is rediculously high. She's decent top and can be played top against a bunch of champions, else you can play her bottom with a sustainy support and she'll do fine as well. Also removing the cap on [[devestating blow]] would make her too strong lol, she already does really high damage to high health targets (if you go AP)[/quote]

[quote=MajorLoL]Poppy:A Scary Carry,I've been using this for a while and shes so OP if she gets 1 kill early.Poppy's my favorite champion,but ALL I SEE ARE AP POPPYS.It makes me so sad to see people using Poppy poorly.Im not saying AP Poppys are bad but AD has more potential,mainly because you have constant damage.So many times I've seen AP poppys push me into a wall,[[Devestating Blow]] me,then haul ass because their burst wasn't high enough. AD I'm 1v1ing [[Xin Zhao]]s and [[Tryndamere]]s all day.[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]I don't really understand why you would ever build attack speed and B.F. items on Poppy. You only have the duration of her ultimate to take someone out of the fight and besides that, you won't be able to be in fights for long. A squishy champion like Poppy will never be able to utilize all the damage from items like [[infinite edge]] or [[phantom dancer]]. You can build for optimized burst instead with either a hybrid build (triforce, dfg, bloodrazor or even gunblade) or AP. You can get sustained damage through cooldown reduction.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]She can jungle now... Just gonna throw this out there and take it or leave it as you will ;)[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Actually, [[tryndamere]] can only stay 5 seconds in a fight. And he can do his job. [[poppy]] can stay 8 seconds in a fight. And with AD, you will nuke up at least 2 targets.^^(that auto attacks are a nuke..)[/quote]
