Trinity Force Poppy, putting the Urf in Smurf

[quote=NicknameMy]You would just have 2 [[mana potion]]s, poppy scales extremly well with [[health potion]]s thanks to her passive (and since most top laners run a bunch of health potions, you need them to outtrade them). [[clarity]] would be even crap if it would refill the mana of all champs in the team to 100%. I find it funny that the champ people thought would be dead brings back an item which people thought it would be dead. [[Poppy]]+[[hextech gunblade]], the reincarnation of death.[/quote]

[quote=drakon136][quote=Meiyjhe] Examples pls [/quote] Late response, but she can beat [[Riven]] if she survives the first three levels. Immunity to executes OP, Roit pls nefr.[/quote]

[/quote] I don't think that [[riven]] is a hard matchup for [[poppy]]; it's just kinda hard to catch her. You have to bait her Q and then stun her into a wall or ask your jungler to come in with some cc.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger][[Riven]] is a medium level match up for [[Poppy]] it all depends on individual skill at that point but a good [[Riven]] won't stand next to walls making [[Poppy]] worthless in lane all you can really do as [[Poppy]] is try to bait the enemy [[Riven]] into a tower dive.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy][[Poppy]] does nearly never use wall stun in lane anyway, only q to harass. She only uses wallstun if absolutely needed, most of the time to escape ganks or getting a double kill if towerdived. And dat Q hurts [[riven]]. [[poppy]] takes near to no damage from [[riven]] thanks to [[cloth armor]], her passive and her W.[/quote]

[/quote] Hey, easy on the worthless there. [[poppy]] can still out-trade [[riven]] easily. [[poppy]] with [[sheen]] will wreck [[riven]] in an all in. Remember that she is immune to [[riven]]'s execute. The problem with that matchup is that an expert [[riven]] can harass you without letting you to retaliate; she will hop to you, land a bunch of attacks while you're stunned/knocked back then run away with her shield. She can't go ham on you and win though, because if she decides to keep fighting after all her skills are blown you will demolish her. Oh and trust me, EVERYONE stands next to walls. I watched #1 Poppy NA murder all those beautiful ELO players because they stood next to walls, or get doubles when they attempted to dive. So basically, [[riven]]'s epic mobility makes it hard for you to harass her back. That's my opinion on this matter.

That makes it easier to land hits on her while she's retreating. You can even shove her towards your tower. Just remember: you out-trade her hard. Oh and, it helps to let her use her [[broken wings]] first, then go in to harass her.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Okay maybe I was a little quick on the worthless remark, I'm doing everything I can to learn poppy just haven't had excess to a computer that can run league at a decent frame rate :( and the changes to Phage and Tri Force don't really nerf her potential to use them other then the price increase.[/quote]

[quote=I post stuff][[poppy]] being weak early is a myth anyways. Playing her passively right from the start is a big mistake because she has one of the strongest levels 1-2. You actually have to be REALLY aggressive and try to force the enemy out of lane asap. After that, keep the pressure up, make sure you are ahead in CS, make the enemy fear you. If you play passive, you will get forced into farming under your tower. There's nothing horribly wrong with it but you will have to rely on your jungler/some items to actually win the lane (or hope that the enemy derp dives you). Though, [[poppy]] is kinda good at farming under the tower, or at least stopping the enemy from farming while the lane is in such a state. Did you see Zekent playing vs old [[Olaf]] with [[Poppy]]? He was [i]very[/i] aggressive; he started harassing [[olaf]] with his Q right off the bat, and ultimately easily won the lane. If he didn't though, [[Olaf]] would become too tanky to handle.[/quote]

[quote=Ilynx]Poppy is overpowered (FACT). She has an ult that can throw any teamfight and in lane she has a stun and ridiculous damage. The main question about tri-force poppy is whether it is better to build her ap or ad. I play Darius often, who is really the best poppy counter I own, and every time i'm against a poppy I end up destroying her early and not letting her get any farm but we always end up losing late game because poppy just ults and the teamfight is done. I think that one of the main reasons she isn't played that much is because her concept is different. Maybe her splash or her lore is kind of strange but it doesn't mean she isn't op.[/quote]
