Henlo frens and welcome back to another glorious guide on how to League of Legends. This time featuring Warcrime Poppy: the merciless mercenary.
This is a guide for solo carrying yourself out of elo hell. Her potential of dominating a game all by herself is as big as her dic… hammer. The ony thing that‘s required for this guide is a good amount of hatred for all living creatures out there and no regret for leaving crying children behind after brutally murdering their parents.
So buckle up me fellows and follow me yet on another journey on dominating low elo with beauty, grace and brutal violence!

Poppy‘s ancestors invented the warhammer. Her grandfather fought in WW2 without any firearms but with a hammer instead. Her dad wielded one in Vietnam. Through her bloodline flows the blood of a true berserk. All her life was determined to carry a hammer. All her life she was trained to wield it and perfect a fierceless combat.
When born, Poppy was actually a quite big child. At the age of 12 she was 2.17 meters tall. But starting her hard training in warhammers, she got bonked so often she shrunk to a height of 1.32 meters, allowing her not only to act more agile but also being perceived as a child.
Her training included wielding hammers, big hammers, large hammers, very large hammers and chainsaws, intimidating, blackmailing, sneaking and ancient historical malaysian folk dance.
After successfully completing her training at young age she was send to russian military commiting several assassinations, infitrations and other warcrimes. One day she killed her supervisor because he said investing skillpoints in intelligence would be more useful than melee damage. She got put to sleep and sent to gulag. 27 minutes after being prisoned, the gulag burned down, all inmates and guards were killed brutally. Everyone was missing their left toenails which Poppy took as trophy. Over the next years Poppy made her money by accepting every assignment she could find as long as it included murder.
When she was on a mission on the moon she heard of the online game „League of Legends“ in wich all kinds of heroes and villains fight over and over again. Agitated of the idea of killing people without the need to hide her tracks from Interpol she decided to join the league to decimate all her enemies with her giant hammer.

Passive Iron Ambassador: Throw a shield which provides a shield upon picking up (how unexpected).
Q Hammer Shock: Smash your hammer on the ground, slowing the enemy and dealing massive dmg.
W Steadfast Presence: Become Sanic and prevent enemies from dashing.
E Heroic Charge: Take an enemy on a vacation. To the next wall.
R Keeper's Verdict: Take the enemy on a vacation again. To their own base.

Abilities

Items

Poppy - the Mercenary Ranged, Melee, burst, fighter, russian, merciless cruelty: Over 9000 regret: zero price: 5,23€ and 3 glasses of mayonnaise This guide focuses on killing the enemy with maximum brutality. And the most brutal way for a summoner is getting oneshotted like your playing an fps. And what‘s more brutal, what‘s more metal than ramming this sweet hammer in the enemies face equipped with 100+ lethality and 400 AD? It‘s so ******** satisfying to watch them crumble under your enormous metal club. So, what‘s the point of playing Poppy full lethality if there are other champs who can fulfill this role much better? Other question: have you ever stolen your jungler‘s first buff? The answer is the same: it feels so damn good. Better than playing with bionichles.

Pros

+ good survivability + high dmg + secret military techniques + CC + underestimated

Poppy is capable of insane dmg and pinning down enemys. Her Q deals percentage dmg while scaling well with AD. Her W allows her to counter all those gopniks trying to steal your mayonaise. Her E and R make sure the enemies and Ivan (Poppy‘s gopnik neighbour) are unable to run away from the brute force of her hammer. Poppy has a strong early and mid game. New itembuilds allow her a lot of variety on how to kill the enemy. To be most effective you ofc have to build one of the lethality items. In late game she can either assisst her team with reliable cc or disengage while still being able to solopush lanes crushing idiots that rush b.

Cons

- ok in teamfights - gets kited - outclassed - W not as useful against immobile champs

Poppy is your ordinary bruiser played as an assassin. You can get kited, your worth in teamfights is limited. Also there are some champs that scale way better than her. Her W is nothing more but a speed up and a resistance buf if the enemy has no dash. Warcrime Poppy is harder to play than a normal Poppy since she doesn‘t survive longer than an ordinary Nick in a gym if played incorrectly.

Lethaility

VS

Tank

How do you win a war? Diplomacy, love, mutual understanding, brutal violence. Poppy doesn‘t even know how to write the first three. Have you tried climbing the ladder by asking the enemy to surrender? Or to offer them skins if they let you win? No ofc not for anyone who is reading this guide is not a simp who wins his battles by crying. Get your Prowler's Claw, get your collector and do it yourself. This build offers massive potential to carry a game. Tanks rely on their teammates. Warcrime Poppy doesn‘t.

Poppy can bring solid base dmg to the table. Also when played tank her survivability skyrockets. Plus it makes your brain become the size of a peanut since it‘s so dull and easy to play her tank. You will need to rely on your team and do literally nothing but standing in the frontline casually pressing a button while taking a sip of your beer and playing the objectively better game Diddy Kong Racing. You can‘t carry a game, not even your groceries.

HP

Warcrinme Poppy is the Rambo of League of Legends. She charges in leaving behind a trail of dead corpses and suffering.
Her early game is pretty straight forward. Engage like there is no tomorrow (there probably isn‘t tho) and pin the enemy against the next wall. Q has solid base dmg thus will have great synergy with some early lethality. Use her passive to win trades, use the rest of her kit to hurt feelings. Engage whenever you can. As a russian adage says: „Netschego na zerkalo penjatj, kolj roscha kriwa“, meaning „don‘t blame the mirror for your ugly face“.

Mid game is easy since you want to play like any assassin but don‘t get punished that hard for failing. In case of multiple enemies ult one of them so hard, they will land in the twisted treeline so you have enough time to turn the face of any carry into a pineapple. You can either push sidelanes or teamfight. Or wait in the enemy jungle for someone to show up to perform top tier assassinations.

In late game everything is prohibited. War knows no rules. Murder, torture or calling the enemy gay. Warcrime Poppy knows how to cruely end a life and will do so. While being worse than some other assassins she also brings muscles to the table allowing her to brawl if necessary. Try to attack isolated targets or make them isolated with Keeper's Verdict.
Most people will not expect the amount of dmg you can deal with your hammer thus reveal themself for openings.

Warcrime Poppy is a fearsome overmusculated midget with a hammer almost the size of her mental dmg. You might hear Poppy talking about some weird stuff. This is due to her mind going insane. Aside from that you can turn a regular bruiser into a killing machine with more potential than Bitcoin had in 2009. She has insane dmg with more survivability than most other assassins.
So go out there and show the LoL community love, freedom and agony!
