Hello, my name is Derik and I play on the EUW server. I normally play support but now i am trying to "master" the jungle. I am trying to accomplish this by playing Poppy, because i find her a fun champion and want to improve. This guide won't be perfect I will admit and it might not work for high elo players but this is still fun. !This guide isn't finished!

I want to thank you for reading this guide.

P.S. sorry for my bad English, I am still learning it.

If you want you can play Poppy in ranked though I would not recommand it to you. Although it works very well and it is a whole lot of fun. I want to address that this is not often seen. If you have a good jungler against you, you will have a rough time and might lose some LP. If this is not the case you can lead your team to victory. I tried her ranked jungle and you can have a huge impact on the game, so when you are going to try it out. Have fun!

I just have simple runes which are viable on nearly every champion in the game although they aren't great, if you have a spare rune page and enough gold I would recommend you buying
9 x Attack damage marks
9 x Armor seals
3 x Scaling magic resist Glyphs
6 x cooldown Glyphs
3 x Attack speed Quints

These will help you clear the jungle faster and still be tanky late game

I want to explain to you why a choose Thunderlord's decree over colossus and this is because I prefer to have a high burst of damage to a specific champion. You can deal this because of the combo E (+ E stun if possible) + Q + AA + Q. You can choose colossus too but what I already mentioned is that i prefer burst over Health.

If you choose to go colossus that is fine with me. Then i would recommend swiftness and then colossus(see the second poppy build: full tank)

In this guide I start Q, some people start E. I didn't know which one was better so i went in to a pratice tool game and these are the results:

Results
When I started with E:
I had a cleared my Red Buff at the mark of 2:08
I had still 308 HP left with using my smite
Red buff spawn at 1:37 so I solo cleared the buff in 31 seconds

When I started with Q:
I had a cleared my Red Buff at the mark of 2:01
I had still 354 HP left with using my smite
Red buff spawn at 1:37 so I solo cleared the buff in 24 seconds

Conclusion
In conclusion you should always start Q over E.

when you play Poppy in the jungle you try to help lanes. You are sort of a support in the jungle but much more tanky and dealing a lot of damage. When I play in the jungle my route is like this:

Blue side:
I normally start red go to wolves, blue and then try to gank top or mid. When i am not able to gank a lane i get gromp and scundle crab and see if i can get a camp of the enemy jungler.

Red side:
again red, wolves, blue and then try to gank bot because this is more profitable because of 2 people. otherwise i will go get gromp and scudle and invade the enemy jungle

TIP! when you go and do Chickens wait till you stand in the perfect spot to hit all chickens with you Q after that smite it.

When you are going to play Poppy in the jungle always take Smite, because you need to have a jungle item. This is so because without you want to have extra experience and have the bonus from the item.

You should always get Flash too because Poppy doesn't have an escape and you can have make very "cool" combo's happen. which I will talk about later.

Poppy with her kit has some combo you can try. these combo's will also help you in the jungle. These combo's are easier to do when you have high fps. these are some you can use. there are many more for you to discover.

Easy combo's
E -> Q
E -> Q -> AA
E -> Q -> AA -> Q(2nd)
W -> E -> Q -> AA

intermediate combo's
E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q(2nd)-> R
W(to walk up) -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q
W(stop dash) -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q
W(stop dash) -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q -> R

Advanced combo's
Flash -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q(2nd) -> R
Flash -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> shield -> Q(2nd) -> R
Flash -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q -> R -> W -> AA

W(to walk up) -> Flash -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> shield -> Q(2nd) -> R
W(stop dash) -> Flash -> E -> E(stun) -> Q -> AA -> Q -> R

I want to thank you for reading my guide on Poppy in the jungle. This was my first guide and I hope you liked it and I hope you now have a good understand how to play poppy in the jungle.
