Hello! I'm Kocykek and welcome to my guide!
What you will find here are the best viable items, runes, summoner spells and combos which will cause your Poppy to become a carry of the team from jungle. About the guide, the entire text code was written by me and I took some codes from other guides. I will link them in credits.

About me, I'm from Poland and I'm peaking Challenger player who mains Poppy with over 400k mastery points on her since the beginning of Season 10. My in-game name is "Kocykek" and I play on EUW.
I'm not a normal Poppy player who plays only tank and protects his teammates, I like being a fighter who takes on multiple enemies which is why I also found out a damage build which is viable at this moment. If you have any questions about my guide, feel free to leave a comment. Anyway let's get into the the guide!

While Poppy is theorically a tank top laner she is, in my point of view, a bruiser in the jungle.
Why so? Her decent clear, damage output from abilities and opportunity to duel anyone is insane. She became much stronger than I've expected with these new items. First of all, Poppy has the kit that can provide so much utility and even is good at ganking and counter ganking. Heroic Charge is good enough to stun an enemy which the mentioned immobilize effect can last up to 2 seconds. Steadfast Presence is for gap closing and blocking dashes (we will get to that later). And speaking about dashes... How many junglers are there with them? That's why it makes counter ganking so effective on Poppy. For example lets take Zac ganking and you are ready with your W. Last, but not least the most game changing ability in Poppy's kit is probably the ult Keeper's Verdict itself which allows to kick out enemy or enemies out of fight so even if they have a carry you can just ult him out and he will be back a few seconds later. In these few seconds everything can happen so be sure to use it correctly. Finally our Yordle also has a few builds, runes or even playstyles to take on so she can't be useless if countered or behind in-game.

While Poppy has many pros as I said earlier, the cons of her are:
- stoppable Heroic Charge. She can dash to enemy but the enemy can stop it while you are casting the dash. Janna's Howling Gale or Monsoon and Draven's Stand Aside for example. There are also moments where enemies blink her Heroic Charge ( Zed's Living Shadow, Ezreal's Arcane Shift, Flash). All of these leave Poppy in worse shape during ongoing fight since she didn't hit stun and get closer to enemy.
- vulnerable to unstoppable type abilities and surpressions: Olaf, Malzahar, Warwick. Poppy have to slow and stun enemies in order to win and she also need to move out of these immobilized effects in order to do something.
- worse on ranged matchups. Poppy likes gap closing so she prefer to fight against bruisers and tanks, not mages and other ranged champs. Of course she can hit some abilities and autoattacks but she would hit more if they would be closer.

PASSIVE ABILITY

Iron Ambassador

Poppy periodically throws her buckler as her next basic attack, gaining 350 bonus range and dealing 20 − 180 (based on level) bonus magic damage. The buckler then falls near her target, where it remains for up to 4 seconds.

When Poppy picks up the buckler, she shields herself for 15 / 17.5 / 20% (based on level) of her maximum health for 3 seconds. If the buckler kills its target, it bounces back to Poppy automatically. Enemy champions can step on the buckler to destroy it.

Additional info:
Range: 475
Cooldown: 13 / 10 / 7

Poppy's Iron Ambassador allows to clear camps more safe beacause of shield it gives. Also it deals some magic damage which is nice. In fights shield is really useful. Maximum health shield is what every tank want. Unlucky that you have to move to shield's position to grab it and not only that enemy can actually desroy the shield with stepping on it.

Hammer Shock

Poppy smashes the ground in front of her, dealing 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+ 90% bonus AD) (+ 9% of target's maximum health) physical damage to all enemies hit. Against monsters, the damage based on their maximum health is capped.

The impacted ground becomes unstable, slowing enemies by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% standing on it before erupting after 1 second, dealing the same physical damage to all enemies hit.

Additional info:
Range: 430
Cooldown: 8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4
Cost: 35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55

Poppy's main damage ability. You want to spam it as much as possible so ability haste is a way to go. If you manage to proc this ability 2 times you are dealing massive damage. 16% maximum health damage is huge compared to other abilities that occur in the game. Hammer Shock also slows so it is very good in chasing enemy and escaping from him. Works really good on clearing camps.

Steadfast Presence

Passive: Poppy's total armor and magic resistance are both increased by 12%, doubled to 24% when she falls below 40% maximum health.

Active: Poppy gains 40% bonus movement speed for 2 seconds and generates an aura around herself for the duration, causing all enemies who attempt to dash through it to be dealt 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+ 70% AP) magic damage, knocked up for 0.5 seconds, and afterwards both grounded and slowed by 25% for 2 seconds.

Additional info:
Range: 400
Cooldown: 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12
Cost: 50

The ability that most champions don't like. With the cast you gain movement speed and creating aura around you that stops incoming dashes for 2 seconds. Dashes get blocked and enemies that casted them get grounded. Ground effect denies enemies to use other dash abilities as well as Flash.
Passively you gain bonus resistances and even more of them below 50% hp which is amazing.

Here you can see the list of all dashes that Steadfast Presence can block:
List

Heroic Charge

Poppy dashes to the target enemy's location, and if they are in range of her, she deals them 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+ 50% bonus AD) physical damage and carries them along with her for up to 300 units.

If the target collides with terrain, she deals them the same physical damage again and stuns them for 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 1.9 / 2 seconds.

Additional info:
Range: 475
Cooldown: 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10
Cost: 70

Poppy's ability to stun. Heroic Charge is point and click ability but requires some positioning. You can't just use it on enemy like that. You have to stun the enemy into a wall in order to deal damage and ability to fully work. You can ignore walls while using Heroic Charge.

Keeper's Verdict

Poppy charges for up to 4 seconds, slowing herself by 15% for the duration. Keeper's Verdict can be recast at any time within its duration, and its cooldown is set to 15 seconds if canceled.

Recast: Poppy smashes the ground, sending out a shockwave that travels in the target direction. When it hits an enemy champion, a massive hammer erupts, dealing 200 / 300 / 400 (+ 90% bonus AD) physical damage to all enemies around it. Enemies struck by the hammer are knocked back an incredible distance towards their fountain.

Releasing the ability within 0.5 seconds of the activation ends the charge to launch the hammer upwards, dealing 50% reduced damage and knocking up all enemies around Poppy for 1 second.

Poppy has sight of enemies she knocks airborne and they are untargetable for the duration if she charged the ability for more than 0.5 seconds, with their displacement distance increasing based on how long Keeper's Verdict was charged.

Additional info:
Range: 500
Cooldown: 140 / 120 / 100
Cost: 100

The game changer ultimate. It's a skill shot so you have to precisely aim at target. If tapped the enemy gets knocked up for nearly a second and you deal half a damage with it.
If charged more than 0.5 seconds then the enemy gets knocked in direction of their base. The distance is based on how long was Keeper's Verdict charged. You deal full damage. Can also be used as a finisher.

There are 2 ability orders that we can use on Poppy!

Skill Order #1
	>		>		>


1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18





Q	E	W	Q	Q	R	Q	E	Q	E	R	E	E	W	W	R	W	W

Default skill order. Since Poppy highly relies on damage from her Hammer Shock it will be maxed first. The cooldowns on Q will shorten so much. From 8 seconds to 4 seconds!

Skill Order #2
	>		>		>


1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18





Q	E	W	Q	Q	R	Q	W	Q	W	R	W	W	E	E	R	E	E

Best skill order against tons of dashes which makes pain a real thing on enemy side.

Probably best rune set at the moment as it helps with kitness and in these days there are a lot of ranged champions in enemy team or just the enemy team is too mobile for you so it's perfect. I found it really good after engaging. Phase Rush, Nimbus Cloak, Celerity, Waterwalking and Relentless Hunter gives you enough movement speed to gap close range enemy. Cheap Shot for bonus true damage on any ability hit. You can proc Phase Rush easily and with Smite it is much easier and more efficient to do so.

A rune set that is good at engaging and ganking. This is almost the same rune page as the one below but there is Predator instead of Electrocute. Predator allows to help teammates more as it gives bonus movement speed needed to gank unexpectedly. It doesn't proc the same burst damage Electrocute do but it'll do. The rest are the same runes.

Reliable rune page on Poppy. Electrocute gives burst damage on ganks. By doing combo you easily activate this keystone. There are different ways you can proc it such as for example with Unleashed Smite. Cheap Shot gives you a bit of true damage on any abilities hit against champions. Eyeball Collection awards you with a little bit of AD on takedowns so you can have more damage later in the game. Relentless Hunter, Celerity and Waterwalking allow to have more mobility around the map so you can gank more and efficiently. Waterwalking gives also some AD on river so you can contest Scuttle Crab if enemy jungler comes there as well.

Same runeset as Predator or Electrocute but with Dark Harvest included. Dark Harvest awards you when you snowball really hard. Having many souls really makes your damage incredibly good and on Poppy it works good.

2 Adaptive Forces allow Poppy to clear fast.
Health Scaling to make Poppy tankier as the game goes on.

SMITE: You can't jungle without smite like really.

FLASH: Classic spell to take on almost every champion. A simple teleport into the place of your cursor. You can do combos and escape with it.

IGNITE: Aggressive option. If you're aiming to win early game you should consider this. True damage on Ignite with built-in grievous wounds works best against Kayn, Warwick, Dr. Mundo, Fiddlesticks.

Mosstomper Seedling
This pet will give you shield effect after fully grown. Shield can be obtained by killing a camp or being a few seconds out of combat. You will also be graned Slow Resist and Tenacity under shield effect. Shield last forever. Usually you will go this as you want to be more tankier.

Gustwalker Hatchling
This pet will give you bonus movement speed after fully grown. You will be faster in bushes and after killing a camp. This can be helpful with mobility.

Scorchclaw Pup
This pet will grant you additional damage after fully grown. You will get stacks and at 100 stacks your next autoattack burns enemy and slows all nearby enemies.

Health Potion
You have to somehow survive in the Jungle no?

Stealth Ward
Free trinket that grants vision if placed. Use it on your other jungle side incase if you have a feeling someone will invade you or place it somewhere deeper to let teammates know where enemy jungler is now and who he will be trying to gank first.

Boots
Getting more movement speed means more mobility and more mobility = more ganks and gap closing.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity
Useful boots because of the ability haste they give. More ability haste = faster clearing and better fighting. Also more movement speed!

Sheen
Your next autoattack after casting an ability deals additional damage. Your autoattack from Iron Ambasador counts too!

Caulfield's Warhammer
Grants you AD and Ability Haste.

Control Ward
A lifesaver for 75 gold. Grants vision in selected place that shows placed enemy wards in this area until someone destroys it or another one is placed by you. It is really important to have these since you can see the enemy jungler's position and what is his pathing is. Also useful on objectives.

Oracle Lens
Pretty much a nearby enemy vision detector for free that follows you for a few seconds. Useful to destroy wards of enemy laners and on objectives.

Mobility
Dead Man's Plate - It grants you movement speed and additional damage along with armor and health. Very great to walk around the map and help everyone.

VS AD (autoattacks,healing)
Thornmail - Classic item. Great against autoattack based champions like Jax and Warwick.
It's also good against healing champions. Applying 60% of Grievous Wounds on immobilizing enemy. Very good against champions like Kayn and Aatrox.

VS AD (autoattacks,crit)
Randuin's Omen - Gives good amount of armor and even an active that reduces attack damage and critical strike damage. Also you have passive on this item and it works like Amumu's Tantrum, reducing damage from autoattacks by 5 per 1000 health. Has an active that reduces damage of nearby enemies.

VS AP (better heals,shields)
Spirit Visage - Increased healing and increased shielding which works on Iron Ambassador and other items. Also gives good amount of health, magic resist and ability haste.

VS AD (autoattackers)
Frozen Heart - Good item to take because of mana, ability haste and especially armor it gives. Grants passive working like Amumu's Tantrum, just like Randuin's Omen.

VS HEAVY AP
Force of Nature - Probably the best magic resist item at the moment. Also gives movement speed. Unlucky that it doesn't give ability haste. With Dead Man's Plate this item really works good.

Support/Mobiilty(scaling resistances in fights)
Trailblazer - Kinda a support item that replaces but at the cost of your teammates having bonus movement speed as well.

Support
Locket of the Iron Solari - Some resists and a shield that can be used on all of your allies.

Defensive Stats
Jak'Sho, The Protean - Very defensive items, grants armor, magic resists, health and even more resists after being in a fight.

Armor/Healing
Unending Despair - Item that grants you armor, health, ability haste and an old Jak'Sho passive that heals you while being in a combat.

Armor/Healing
Kaenic Rookern - Amazing Magic Resist item that grants you health, many of mentioned resists and a big shield based on your max% HP (that regenerates).

Burst
Eclipse - Really amazing item in current meta, great burst damage and low cooldown which allows Poppy to abuse it.

Teamfighting - getting burst down
Sterak's Gage - Grants a maximum health regeneration and a shield if bursted down in teamfights. The shield is increased if fighting against multiple champions.

Healing/Damage
Sundered Sky - Great item that focuses on healing while 100% criting on next autoattack. Good in extended fights, grants good stats.

Ability Haste/Spamming Abilities
Spear of Shojin - Item that grants you tons of ability haste, health, AD and on top of that your abilities will deal more with next each one, stacking to 4.

Actually the best boots at the moment. Ability haste on both abilities and summoner spells pays off.

Against mostly AD teams.

Against tons of CC or heavy AP.

More mobility around the map.

Combos are part of League of Legends of every champion so let's see possible combos of Poppy.

How to do combos?
I know this instruction image can be a little hard to read from so I'm gonna explain here:

Basic combo on Poppy is...

...and in this one combo you can add more abilities and damage sources:

Flash:
Use it to engage into fight earlier so enemy can't expect and react to it. Also used to gap closing.

Steadfast Presence:
1. You use it at the start to gap close enough or to make enemy don't dash.
2. You use it at the end to gap close if enemy ran away or to block a dash so enemy can't escape.

Smite:
You use it after you hit someone with Heroic Charge. Can be used to proc runes.

Keeper's Verdict + AA:
You use it to extend fight and deal damage.

Ironspike Whip:
Use it to maximize your damage potential in combo.

And basically you use combo based on situation you got in and how much damage you can put out.

For example...

I hope you understand "Combos" section. If you don't, feel free to ask me questions.

Poppy has one pathing that is viable.

Level 3 gank pathing

This is default pathing and the only one that works on Poppy. It allows Poppy to gank earlier than most junglers and most likely to kill someone which results in advantage on Yordle's side. Full clear pathing would lead to disadvantage really fast and invade pathing well... it's too risky. Better to farm less and gank more than farm more and gank less.

Clearing as Poppy is easy. All you need to do is hit your Hammer Shock and try to hit it in the most enemies possible at once. Play with passive and grab shields as it helps with not losing too much hp. Additionally you can use Heroic Charge and use it on toughest target.
Start clearing with E + Q + Passive ( Heroic Charge + Hammer Shock + Iron Ambassador ) or with Passive + E + Q ( Iron Ambassador + Heroic Charge + Hammer Shock). Second is better as you know the position shield position already is as you stun something.

Typical engage on jungle camps.

Alternative early engage on jungle camps.

Example of clearing:

Warding is an important part of the game. Without it it's just a hide and seek on Summoner's Rift. Placing Stealth Wards and Control Wards allow to know position of the enemies at this right moment when they are seen so the team can play with their movement.

Here is early to mid game warding. Beacause of low mobility and laning phases there won't be that many wards to place, just the most important. If enemy jungler is on second river it's a chance to place a ward deep in their jungle whether it's blue buff side or red buff side. Why deeper? Because it will even earlier alert what is their jungler's pathing and what lane he will be going to help.

As late game is getting closer with every minute in-game the wards are becoming more important than ever. Giving vision on objectives and single targets on enemy team is a key to victory. The thing is that your team needs more of them.

Here is late game warding. You can pretty much say that there are too many wards but hear me out. Of course it won't be possible to ward every single area on the map and it won't be possible to see enemy 24/7. That's why there are more places to ward. If enemy sees your ward in the same place a few times he know that this exact same place will be warded so he won't bother to go there or just bait your team with his game knowledge. So placing wards in other places as I show on the images above is pretty good. Vision on objectives are the most important after all.
Clearing vision is part of the warding too.

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.

Top and Bot:

1. From river
Typical place to start a gank from junglers. Do it if enemy lane has prio over your ally or allies. Easy to set gank if so, if you show up enemy will start running away to walls which you can use to set Heroic Charge stun. If they have dashes you can use Steadfast Presence to deny them to escape which slows. Either use it after Heroic Charge or just after you show up if you have that feeling on enemy.

Now what if enemy doesn't have prio? Well... now you have to follow up your teammate's stun or any immobilize effect or just be quick enough to gap close enemy in 2 or 3 seconds after showing up. Followuping is easy but gap closing can be hard don't worry if you have Relentless Hunter and Celerity, you will gain enough movement speed to come closer to enemy.

2.From lane bush
You can try going around into the bush on lane to surprise enemy. Works the best if enemy laner or laners are aggresive like Renekton or Leona.

3. Dive
If lane is winning you can try to dive enemy since it's very easy in these kind of situations where enemy just stands under towe because he can't do anything else. You have guaranteed stun on enemy.

4. Hexflash
If you somehow took hexflash you can try this route. Go into enemy jungle and start channeling here to here. Enemies won't expect that.

5. Countergank
Enemy jungler ganking? Stay in bush or river and ping your teammate to come here. Stun someone and if someone has dashes then you know, use Steadfast Presence.

Mid:

1. From any bush
Typical gank pathing but too hard to make it work since you need gap closing.

2. Hexflash
Enemies won't expect where you came from. From enemy raptors to mid.
Since Poppy doesn't get enough gap closing with gank from the bush, Hexflash helps with that. Channel from here to here and there you go, easy gank. Best if enemy is mage since he will be playing poke type playstyle.

3. Hexflash + Dive
Dives are very good if playing as Poppy, as if champion was created to dive. You can surprise enemy with that and grab an easy kill. Especially if your mid laner is winning.

How to gank specific champion with :
- You can block his E even when he's casting his Q with it. Recommended to build or against him.

- She can cancel your E with her charm but you can block her R dashes instead.

- Don't get asleep and grab an easy kill on squishy target. She can be too mobile sometimes.

- Dodge her E and set up an easy stun.

Objectives are very important buffs for your teammates since they can singlehandly change games.

For drakes I would say the worst one is Cloud since your faster Keeper's Verdict won't do much. The best is either Mountain or Infernal but I like first one more because of shield and resistances it gives. Infernal is pretty good for damage output and Cloud for sustained fights. I don't really like Chemtech and Hextech dragons.

When you hit level 6 you should start thinking about them. Prioritze them over ganks. Taking objectives can be really easy and hard.

Easy because Keeper's Verdict allows to knock out the enemy jungler at any moment so you can take the drake without the enemy jungler at this area. Also if you have good teammates they will follow you and together take the drake or herald.

Hard because enemy team have Cho'Gath or Nunu & Willump that can easilly steal the objective. Enemy team can also put you on main focus and kill you.

You can either do objective (drake, herald) by yourself or with teammates.

While at objective use Oracle Lens or Control Ward to detect nearby enemy wards and destroy them to keep enemy team without vision on important part of the map.

Taking objective if enemy jungler is alive can be risky since he can steal it with Smite...
...or can he?

You can stand in the back of the pit and use perfectly timed Steadfast Presence to not allow any dashing junglers to come through. It even works on blast cones which is another good thing. Blast cones are as well on baron side.

About stopping blast cones and dashes on objectives with Steadfast Presence:
On drake it works the best against enemy on blue side.
On baron it works the best against enemy on red side.

If you want to take baron it's the other way around, you can't just take it like that. It's too easy to predict. You have to make pressure:

- take enemy inhibitor which will cause minions to push.
- catch their jungler causing enemy team to 4v5 during his respawn time.
- sacrifice your splitpusher if you have one - bait enemies, take more towers or inhibitors, either way if you have Jax or Fiora as your splitpusher enemies won't know what to do, most likely they will back just to kill the splitpusher while you can easily take baron.

The most important: Remember to check how much damage does your Smite in order to take the objective perfectly, sometimes you can get the objective stolen by rare occasion or you can get outsmited. Better to be secure.[/td][/tr][/table]

Around the time that baron appears, game heavily relies on teamfights. Teamfights allows to grab objective, some towers and inhibitors or even to win the game.
In teamfights you should think what is the best playstyle for you and your team as Poppy .

If you have a chance at catching someone, do it and your team can followup while you will be the engager.

If your team has engagers, you engage after them. For example you have Malphite who's ultimate is probably the strongest ability to engage that can knockup up to 5 enemies. Engager will probably target their carry as well so you are here to stun her even longer in order to win the teamfight.

If you have a carry that needs to be protected, do it. Blocking assasin dashes are satisfying for ADC and hypercarries since they feel safe and they do a lot of damage if not focused.

You can flank in teamfights which can lead to either amazing plays or your death because you don't know what awaits on the other side if you have no vision or maybe enemy team is just baiting you. Teamfights doesn't always have to be 5v5. There can be a 4v4 teamfight where your splitpusher will push enemy base. Or maybe there is a splitpusher on enemy team? Then focus him first and then force a 5v4 teamfight. Best if teamfights occur in jungle because on lane there is like 50% to hit Heroic Charge.

You can knock somebody or multiple people out of fight using Keeper's Verdict which causes enemy team to fight without some of their teammates for a few seconds.

If you are fighting in the jungle you can stop enemies from blast coning.

Poppy as every jungler have to know how to play against specific matchups. Let's take a look into them!

Amumu
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

In early game try to invade him as much as possible, he doesn't deal dmg without maxed smite and items and clearing his camps will slow his powerspikes. If you meet each other, you outdamage him unless he's somehow ahead. What is most important in this matchup is that you can block his Bandage Toss which is the only ability of Amumu to engage. Using Steadfast Presence on it denies him to gap close but he still stuns you. In teamfights it's really good, stops your team from being stunned so easily. Don't forget he can also use Flash with his Curse of the Sad Mummy but you will probably expect it. He becomes more tankier with every minute in the game so armor shredding items are good.

Bel'Veth
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Bel'Veth is a champion that is based on autoattacks. She will probably full clear. You can block her mobility with Steadfast Presence easily, she literally has 4 dashes. You're most likely to outdamage her in duels anytime. Beware of her Royal Maelstrom, this ability grants damage reduction and deals tons of damage. Don't let her get herald, she will get void monsters then that allow to hard push any lane. In teamfights focus her first since she can make use of her True Form. It's not a hard matchup theorically but one mistake and it's get so much harder. Try to kill her as fast as possible.

Diana
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Diana is very strong right now but not as strong versus Poppy. She will probably full clear so watch out for Level 4 duels. You block her Lunar Rush.
with Steadfast Presence. You also outdamage her early on. Don't understimate her. Try to deny her dashes and buy some Magic Resist against her.

Dr. Mundo
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Dr. Mundo's early game and duel potential is worse than you so you can easily outdeal him early on. He needs to farm and he ganks not so good. Advantage is on your side. Later on he will become more tankier so anti-tank items are recommended. He can focus your carry so make sure to keep an eye on him. Anyway it's not that hard of a matchup.

Ekko
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Right now Ekko is one of the most reliable champions, he will scale up no matter what. His early game is bad so he won't try to invade you and you don't have to worry about your camps being taken. Early on you outdamage him but he's a ticking bomb that blows up sometime in the game. You can block his flip on Phase Dive, you don't block his blink tho keep that in mind. In teamfights don't waste your Keeper's Verdict on him, he will just R back. If stunned with Heroic Charge it's an easy kill since he's squishy but be careful if he's not focused by anybody. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Elise
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Annoying jungler to play against. She will try to invade you as much as possible because of her early game damage. Ward your other side of the jungle. Don't fight her if you somehow met each other, she's better early and will gank more than you. Buy more Control Wards in order to minimalize her early game power. You bring more utility and damage in late game which is better in teamfights. She will try to focus first target or your adc. She can also flank from behind so watchout for that. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Evelynn
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

is an assasin that aims to hit lvl 6 as soon as possible. In this case you can invade her with the invade pathing since she will start blue most likely. You outdamage her early. After she hit lvl 6 she has invisiblity which is annoying for everyone on your team. Try to buy as many Control Wards as possible in order to counter her ganks, flanks and all. She can easily steal objectives so be careful of that. In teamfights she will focus squishy targets and if you stun her you probably kill her since she's squishy. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Fiddlesticks
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Fiddlesticks can be compared to Evelynn with his weak early game and powerspike after lvl 6. With recent buffs he's even harder to deal with. You can try to invade him but he will probably place his scarecrows in order to avoid invades. Early you outdamage him with your damage and also because you cancel his Bountiful Harvest cast. After he hit lvl 6 game will be harder. Fiddlesticks will abuse his Crowstorm with Ultimate Hunter. You should consider warding more and expect engages or followuping from his side. In teamfights he's a monster and it's better if you somehow manage to catch him or after his engage stun him or even knock him out with Keeper's Verdict. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Gragas
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Pretty weak jungler in current meta. Compared to mid and top Gragas he lacks damage at the beginning which allows us to outdamage him early on. His ganks pre-6 are weak and are easily counterable. You can block his E. On objectives he needs a team to help him. He can engage into fights with Flash + Body Slam and if not, he will followup someone from his team. His ult can be gamechanging like yours since it can seperate your entire team. Pros is on your side since he can miss more abilities. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Graves
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

It's a melee ranged champion that wants to invade and will take advantage of his kit. Try to finish camps as fast as possible. If you are feeling something about his invade buy Control Ward and put it in your jungle. If dueling with him it can go either way, you outdamage him or he outkites you. You block his E which can probably stop his armor stacking as well. Graves takes Fleet Footwork and has so much lifesteal with it so better buy antiheal, lock him down or run away. In teamfights you ruin his potential as you remove his mobility. With your Steadfast Presence and armor items he can't do anything.

Hecarim
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Hecarim isn't as popular as he once was but with item path he has now it can be hard to deal with him. He is good at both clearing and ganking. If you meet him at river and land a stun you outdamage him early on which puts advantage on your side. If you snowball fast enough you can win really easily. I didn't really see a problem with him. You block his Devastating Charge. Armor items are recommended.

Ivern
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

I hate playing against him. Even if he builds support he deals damage. At the start be careful about your other buff because it can be invaded and taken from you. You can take crab freely and you outdamage him early on. However as the game progresses he will give more and more shields to his allies while rooting enemies. Serpent's Fang is very good in this matchup. He will stay in the back protecting teammates so try to flank. Damage items recommended as you aim to one shot this tree? Magic Resist items are good too.

Jarvan IV
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Jarvan IV is really easy matchup. You can easily block his predictable Demacian Standard + Dragon Strike combo which is his main engage tool. It works both in duels and teamfights. Another pro is on your side since you can stun him into his own wall ( his Cataclysm ). Any item will do.

Karthus
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

I'm not sure when did Karthus became so overpowered. Like really. His early game is good and he can even outduel you (it's 50/50). However he doesn't provide any hard CC and overall he's squishy.
He powerspikes after lvl 6 and Liandry's Torment that makes him a beast. After getting his core item you can feel the overall change of game. His impact will be huge. Try to win game as soon as possible, he's a ticking bomb that will oneshot your entire team. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Kayn
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Kayn is easy matchup. He will try to invade your red side starting from wraiths so warding this place is recommended. Since he relies on damage from his Reaping Slash you can block it with Steadfast Presence. It denies his mobility which is important in teamfights. While he is in wall you can stun him easily. If anything goes wrong you can buy healing reduction items unless it's Shadow Assasin but the blue form itself is worse. Armor and AD items are recommended.

Kha'Zix
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Extreme threat. His jungle pathing is standard one. One thing to note: He outduels you at every point in the game. Even if you are ahead and you have a lot of resists you can still lose to him. This champion is just broken. You can block his Leap but that doesn't stop from dealing huge damage from his Taste Their Fear for no reason. In teamfights he will probably have Edge of Night so blocking Leap isn't viable unless one of your teammates destroy shields. He will look for flanks and try to assasinate squishies. If you will come close to him he will use invisibility but try to CC him as long as possible if it's possible.

Kindred
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Kindred is basically an ADC in jungle. She has usual pathing as always but will try to invade marked camps if it's possible. Control Ward somewhere in your jungle is good. Early on she can kinda outkite you but later on it's easy as you block her dash and she has no mobility. Buying AD items or stacking armor is recommended.

Lee Sin
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

You could say this is a rengar-type matchup. His early game is good but he falls off really quick. Lee Sin has a potential to invade you so better ward your second buff or just other side of the jungle. If you get into a fight with him, you can easily block his Resonating Strike and Safeguard dash. Stopping his dashes while taking objectives is really satisfying since he can't steal drake or baron with Smite. Doesn't matter if you go tank or damage build it should be really easy, as I said Lee Sin doesn't really do damage in mid-game to late-game. Just incase be careful of insecs that can put your teammates in danger.

Lillia
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Lillia is a not a hard matchup. She's a bruiser that you can't catch but she lacks damage. Early on if you hit your stun you should outdamage her but if you somehow miss you will get outkited. Her bonus movement speed on Blooming Blows is really annoying and you really can't catch her. She has better ultimate that asleeps all enemies affected with passive so beware of that. She also has true damage but most of her kit deals magic damage so Magic Resist items are recommended.

Maokai
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Maokai is a weird matchup but a unique one. He will gank as usual with his kit but most of the time now he will go AP which means his saplings are bombs. Literally. You have to snowball, gank as many times as possible and get your teammates ahead. If Maokai somehow will get fed than it's not a good news... Magic Resist items are recommended.

Master Yi
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Kinda easy if your team has CC in your team. Early on he doesn't have damage and you probably outduel him. He will powerfarm. From mid to late game I hate this champion, he literally just rightclicks anybody to death. Luckily we have stun on Heroic Charge that can stop him or we can get him out of ongoing fight with Keeper's Verdict. If your team has crowd control it shouldn't be a problem but if no you should focus him always. AD and Ability Haste to spam Heroic Charge recommended?

Mordekaiser
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Mordekaiser will go full clear every time and look for opportunities. You can outduel him but at the same time he can outduel you! Dodge his abilities if possible and gank lanes. In teamfights later on he will focus your carry. Watch out for him. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Nidalee
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Very easy matchup at every point of the game. You win every duel against her. Using Steadfast Presence on her Pounce dash is just a sign of a won fight. She will start with her Javelin Toss as always and need to engage but she can't. Blocking dash denies her to do full damage combo. Can be a little annoying with her far away spears and heals in fights but other than that it's really easy. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Nocturne
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Not really viable in the meta now. Since the preseason I haven't seen problems with Nocturne. He's an early game champion and well... he falls really quickly. He will try to fight you and while you are stacking armor he will not do any damage. Beware of fighting him early so mid and late game are easier for you. In teamfights he will Paranoia your carry but he's easily stunned and kited. Armor items recommended.

Nunu & Willump
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Interesting and at the same time unique matchup. First of all he will do his blue and red site and start ganking all around the map. He isn't really a hard matchup but just beware of his ganks that could impact the whole game. Also important about Nunu, they will force objectives! From the moment of dragon spawns you should ward it immediately. On fights he's easy to kill and in teamfights he serves as a engager. Just be careful if he snowballs early game. Magic Resist and Armor Shredding items recommended.

Olaf
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Olaf is decent now. He can still jungle but his reworked kit made him more a toplaner. Was the worst enemy to exist for Poppy. He's better at every early skirmishes than you. He can invade you in jungle and if he will, he outduels you every time early on. Your slows on Hammer Shock and stun on Heroic Charge won't work because he's immune to CC on his Ragnarok. Not only that he has also true damage which ignores your armor against him and he heals a lot. I would say gank your teammates a lot so they can pressure and win lanes. Olaf is not a scaling champion and loses to kitness in mid-late game. You will outdamage him later in the game. You provide CC and he does not. Just try not to fight him straight ahead in early game.

Rammus
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Typical play style to Nunu & Willump. He will do his both sides and gank around the map. Rammus doesn't clear that fast so you can invade him. He wants to snowball early and be an engager and peeling tool. He can't really fight without team so take advantage of that. In mid-late game he will have tons of armor so better to have some shredding items like Black Cleaver. If bought there should be no problem in fights but he will go in teamfights for your carry and tank all the damage if armor penetration is not a such thing in your team. However he can't do anything while stunned.

Rek'sai
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

I don't know what this champion does but I win mostly against it. Try to avoid her early or call for help from your teammates. After 6 you probably outdamage her. You can block her Tunnel that is creating a tunnel in some direction. After stunned she can't really do anything but her true damage if she has maxed fury can hurt. Anyway she's easily focused and outkited by your team unless they don't think. You can easily peel your adc from her or just engage onto her. Easy matchup. Armor items are recommended.

Rengar
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

]

An assasin easily countered by one click ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕤ. Matchup against him is very easy, I could even say it is a free win but you don't want to understimate him. He's an assasin with no escape and pretty good early game. Beware of his early fights with bushes close to him, of course you can block his leap from it using Steadfast Presence early on but he really win fights abusing these bushes from his passive Unseen Predator. When he gets 6 you can also block his ult Thrill of the Hunt. He will look for opportunities to assasinate someone on solo area so you want to stick to your teammates, in this case he can't do anything unless he builts Edge of Night but well you stun him after his engage anyway. Remember, he has no dashes so he can't escape after he leaps on someone. Control Wards are pretty useful here for showing his position, even during his camouflage on ult. Any item will do you if you know how to counter Rengar with W.

Sejuani
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

She's like Rammus I think. Her clearing is standard and she will be helping her team because she isn't really a duelist herself. You outdamage her in fights and you block her Arctic Assault dash. Beware of her engages with Glacial Prison or Arctic Assault + Flash. She will be really tanky in late game so Black Cleaver is recommended as well as Magic Resist items since she does %max hp damage.

Shaco
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Shaco is just Shaco. I don't know what his clear is but he will try to snowball abusing his invisibility. Shaco players mostly go AD but going AP is a thing too. However it'll be a hell either way. He will snowball so hard that his lanes will be far ahead compared to yours. Not only that, fears, boxes, invisibility he has will just annoy you throughout the whole game. He will go AP? He will place a box and will do a quarter of your HP with it. AD? He will oneshot anyone. Try to snowball lanes too with Predator and buy Control Wards to track Shaco's current position. It's the only way to win. You can also track his position in his invisibility with Oracle Lens. Stack Armor or Magic Resist based on his build.

Shyvana
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

She's decent now but don't understimate her. She deals tons of damage and is tanky at the same time. Snowball early on, try to end the game fast. Magic Resist items are recommended.

Skarner
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Another tank in jungle. Skarner doesn't really aim to be carry himself but rather plays with his own team. He has standard pathing and will try to look for picks and hit lvl 6 as fast as possible. You outdamage him at every point of the game but your ults are pretty much the same and can change the game. He will focus your carry so it's easy to predict that he will run straight forward for him which allows us to stun him or knock him out. If he's tanky you can buy armor shredding items. AD and Armor items are recommended.

Sylas
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Very easy matchup at every point of the game. You basically win every duel against him if you don't troll. You block his two dashes. You can gank better than him. If you get Divine fast you win the game. If you have any problems Magic Resist items are recommended.

Talon
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Talon is a very easy matchup. You outdamage him everytime and everywhere. He isn't that broken as he once was. You even clear faster than him and you can gank your teammates better than him. You block his dashes. If anything wrong happens Armor items are recommended.

Trundle
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

He has standard pathing and very good early game. He removes your AD at duels with his Q and it's so annoying because it removes your damage output. Avoid him at the beginning and play for mid to late game. He will aim to snowball early and if he'll do it successfully it's really doomed because he'll outduel anyone. He can steal your resistances and become a tank himself for a few seconds and it really hurts. You can't really win 1v1 against him so play with team. Later on one stun on him with v Heroic Charge in teamfight is probably enough to let your team oneshot him. AD and some armor items recommended.

Udyr
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Udyr relies around movement speed. He has standard pathing and it goes pretty fast. He will abuse early game power and outduel you. This matchup can go either way. Don't fight him and play safe. He will go tank or bruiser so buy items depending on his playstyle. Whether he bought Udyr will rely on having a lot of movement speed. Simply stunning him can be enough and if that doesn't work you can knock him out. Especially if he stacks Conqueror he can be a threat in both duels and teamfights. Armor or Magic Resist items (depending on his playstyle) or even armor shredding items recommended.

VI
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Vi's kit is similar to both Lee Sin and Jarvan IV combined since she has a really predictable dash and armor shredding. This matchup is not really hard. She can't engage onto you beacause you have your Steadfast Presence. She has to start fight with her ultimate Cease and Desist so be catious of that. In early game if she has Hail of Blades be careful of her since the burst from her autoattacks combined with Red Buff can hurt. What I found really good about this matchup is that if Vi Q's you and you are near wall while also casting Steadfast Presence she's literally suiciding cause of grounded effect so it is very easy to hit Heroic Charge. You will hit your stun every time so in this point. Any item in this matchup will do.

Volibear
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Early game champion. You can't fight till you get your first mythic item. He has standard pathing and you can't outdamage him early. He just procs Press the Attack and wins fights. Try to scale up and look for picks. Volibear will pressure early game. After Divine Sunderer you outdamage him. In mid game he's easily kited. He's also vulnerable to CC so stunning him with Heroic Charge is very good, especially in teamfights where he tries to focus your carry and you just peel for him. Armor, AD and healing reduction items recommended.

Warwick
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Good early game. He will go with standard pathing and if you somehow meet each other then Warwick outdamages you hard. He's created to gain advantage of his early game. Try not to fight him without team. His magic damage and overall healing from his kit is busted on the beginning. He can solo dragon at lvl 5 so beware of that and try to ward it around the time it spawns. Overall in midgame his damage really goes down and your at the better spot unless he snowballed hard. Play safe early game and you are good to go. Healing reduction and Resistance items recommended.

Wukong
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Wukong got some nerfs recently but his jungle playstyle is still strong. He will probably level 3 gank someone so be careful about it. You can try to counter gank him if possible with level 3 pathing as well. The thing about Wukong is he is not that strong early. If you encounter Wukong you can block his Nimbus Strike and Warrior Trickster (well not block entirely but his dash on it). Try to snowball early on and it won't be a hard game.

Xin Zhao
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Matchup similiar to Vi. He has better early game but you have better scaling. You easily outdamage him. You can block his E and in teamfights he will focus your carry so block it. Xin Zhao can put a lot of damage so beware of that. Not a hard matchup. Armor items are recommended.

Zed
Matchup difficulty

Summoners

Recommended items to build against

Same matchup as Talon. He doesn't have the damage early on and you outdamage him easily. You're much stronger than him at every aspect of the game. Armor items are recommended if he somehow gets fed.

Ashe
Great follow up on gank with her slows and stun on .

Camille
She plays with a wall as well so you can help each other with hitting abilities.

Karma
Getting movement speed with built-in shield helps in engaging on targets. Also she can root and slow so ganking her lane is easy.

Zilean
He can place a bomb on you when you engage, he can boost your movement speed and even guarantee your safety with .

Orianna
She can have a ball on you, boost you, get you a shield and even use on it when you engage into multiple enemies.

Ornn
With enemy can't really move since they are perma immobilized. Combination of your and abilities are truly a pain for enemy team.

Kayle
You can peel her and she will give you free win. Also can speed you and even save your life with her .

Yorick
Easy gank since you can into his where enemy is locked up.

Anivia
You can the enemy into her wall.

Morgana
She can give tons of CCs and even shield you from incoming ones.

Yasuo
He rarely R your R and even without asking steals your jungle camps.

Yuumi
Worse .

Veigar
You can somehow into his cage but it's so buggy.

Singed
Doesn't do that much damage in this meta and sometimes can even ruin your combos.
