Introduction

Hello summoners, today I'll be making a guide on my favorite champion
Poppy. To me Poppy is just an awesome champion. Even when I wasn't good with her I still thought she was cool and I would still try to play her over and over. The reason I like to play her is because she is so underrated and she could be so deadly in teamfights. This is where this guide comes in. In this guide I will show you why I like playing her so much and why she is so beneficial to your team, if played right, and I will be showing you videos of why she's so good. By the way guys, this guide is to aid you and to help you decide what YOU should build when playing Poppy. Do not, I repeat, do not follow any guide like a Bible. It won't do you any good.

Also, I would like to say that I do not play ranked, since I do not have a stable team, so this guide may not be for everyone, but I would appreciate it if I could get any advice via comments after you have read my guide. Constructive criticism is always accepted. Thank you.
Poppy, just like any champion has pros and cons. Imo, although she has a lot of cons, her pros make up for them. While playing her as solo top, you have to really be aware of her pros/cons as they will benefit or ruin your laning phase and later gameplay.

In my personal opinion, the main thing you should worry about when playing Poppy is being oom, as long as you have mana, even if you were to get tower dove by 2 people, you could still come out with a kill. So make sure you keep an eye on that mana until you get your sheen.
Flash is probably one of the best summoner spells. Closing gaps and escaping is so much easier if you have this under your sleeve. Which is why I always pick it when I play Poppy.
Greater Mark of Desolation ArP Marks are a must when using most AD champs. Some such as
Olaf are allowed to use flat AD marks instead, but since we're playing solo top we want to use ArP to chunk our enemies through their armor.
As any solo top, we want to take armor to take the least damage from our enemies.
For our glyphs, i like to use scaling CDR because we want to be able to use our abilities as much as we can in team fights. Scaling CDR will also make you even more of a threat late game. You could also go with
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist for some MR, but my preference is CDR.
For our quints, we'll be taking MS just to be able to reach that AD carry and other squishies a lot quicker. This will also help you farm and harass if you happen to have a greater MS than your opponent.





For our masteries, we're going to go ahead an use this set up because we want to deal out the most damage we can. I know you're probably thinking that we should get some defensive masteries over utility, but your
Warmog's Armor and
Atma's Impaler will take care of you. As for magic resist, we have our
Mercury's Treads and later in the game if needed we could get more, but since we're poppy, we'll be focusing the AP carry often so they won't be alive for too long.



We're going to go and max our
Devastating Blow first so we can get the most damage out of Poppy, followed by her
Paragon of Demacia since it gives attack damage and armor as a passive, along with a movement speed active. Once we get those maxed we can max our amazing ulti,
Diplomatic Immunity at level 16 followed by her
Heroic Charge which we max last since we're only going to use it to willingly move the enemy carries.




Starting Items


First Time Back
Make sure to have at least 800gp on first call back.
philosopher's stone Mana and health regen along with 5 gold per 10 secs is really helpful for Poppy who may not be able to farm that easily


Rest of the Game


Optional

Continuing on






Optional




There are many other item's you could use for the last 2 spots. These could include a
Last Whisper,
Black Cleaver,
Phantom Dancer. The idea is that you have a lot of choices, it is all about how the game is going.



I know I promised to put videos up, and I will, but I can't at the moment due to having no time. I will have some footage of how solo top should be played when playing Poppy. I will also have a section on warding and another one on what to do when you're in a teamfight as Poppy.
