Ganking is an important part of junglers and Poppy does it well. While ganking you have to either take the chosen enemy with your Heroic Charge into a wall, slow enemy with Hammer Shock or even block his dash with Steadfast Presence. Either way they are affected by CC and your teammate or teammates, depends if you gank a solo lane or bot lane, can follow up. Positions on enemies also change during laning phase and if ganking you have to choose the right way you can gank or at least the one that will do anything.
Before we start - bot ganking is the same as top but I used only top images because it makes no sense to make bot as well while they are almost the same but upside down. |
How to gank specific champion with
Poppy:
Aatrox - You can block his E even when he's casting his Q with it. Recommended to build
Thornmail or
Chempunk Chainsword against him.
Ahri - She can cancel your E with her charm but you can block her R dashes instead.
Akali - It's possible to block her E and R dashes. You just must have reflex to do it.
Alistar - You block his W which is a good thing since
Alistar players only knockback junglers that are ganking or getting close to his ADC.
Anivia - She is pretty immobile but beware of her stun and damage coming with it. Try to dodge Q.
Annie - Wait till she uses her passive (4th spell) before going in. She can stun you on gank if you don't.
Aphelios - Immobile adc, easy to gank.
Ashe - Her slows and R is annoying to play against. While ganking she just slows you so you have to take the right ganking path. Other than that she can reveal your position in jungle by E.
Aurelion Sol - I didn't play against him yet but I guess he's squishy and immobile. Also he has ability that works like
Anivia's Q so he's Anivia but worse.
Azir - Well, I'm gonna say here that depends who controls this champion. Bad one is gonna be easy but the good one will literally carry their team. You can block his dash on E.
Bard - He will be roaming so you can try to stop him in river. Also you block his E
