Poppy Counters

Learn Poppy's counters and discover matchups where they have an advantage! When you're starting a game of League of Legends you should always keep in mind if you'll be at an advantage or disadvantage against your opponent, so you can know whether to bully them or play safe. You can find detailed breakdowns of each matchup on CounterStats, and you can also check out some Poppy guides to see how to build and play against other champions you may find yourself up against!

This counter data is for Poppy Jungle in Plat+ games. The percent shown is the enemy champion's counter rating against Poppy. Counter rating is our own statistic that factors in counter kills, overall kills, early lead ratio, comeback ratio, and win percent to give the whole picture of that champion's effectiveness as a counter pick.

Poppy's Abilities

Guides Builds Counters Skins Abilities Q&A To Top

Iron Ambassador Poppy's Passive

475

Every 13 (10 at level 7 and 7 at level 13) seconds, Poppy's next attack throws her buckler, gaining 350 range and dealing an additional 20 - 180 (depending on level) magic damage. The buckler ricochets off the target, landing nearby. Poppy can pick it up to gain 15 / 17.5 / 20% shield, and enemies can step on it to destroy it.

The buckler automatically returns to Poppy if it kills the target.

Hammer Shock Poppy's Q Ability

430

35 / 40 / 45 / 50 / 55

8 / 7 / 6 / 5 / 4

Poppy smashes the ground, dealing 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+0.9 per bonus attack damage) plus 8% max health as physical damage and making the ground unstable. The unstable area slows enemies by 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% and erupts after 1 second, dealing the same amount of damage again.

Steadfast Presence Poppy's W Ability

400

24 / 22 / 20 / 18 / 16

Passive: Poppy gains 10% armor and magic resist. This bonus is doubled if Poppy is below 40% health.

Active: Poppy gains 40% movement speed and projects a field around her for 2 seconds that stops enemy dashes. Enemies who are stopped by the field are grounded and slowed by 25% for 2 seconds and take 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+70% of ability power) magic damage.

Heroic Charge Poppy's E Ability

475

14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10

Poppy tackles an enemy, dealing 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and carrying them forward. If Poppy tackles them into terrain, the enemy is stunned for 1.6 / 1.7 / 1.8 / 1.9 / 2 seconds and take an additional 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+0.5 per bonus attack damage) physical damage.

Keeper's Verdict Poppy's Ultimate (R) Ability

500

100

140 / 120 / 100 / 100 / 100

Begin Casting: Poppy begins charging her hammer for up to 4 seconds, slowing herself by 15%.

Release: Poppy smashes the ground, creating a shockwave that deals 200 / 300 / 400 (+0.9 per bonus attack damage) physical damage to the first champion hit and surrounding enemies, knocks them back towards their Nexus, and makes them untargetable while they fly. The range and knock back distance increase with charge duration. An uncharged swing deals 100 / 150 / 200 (+0.45 per bonus attack damage) physical damage and knocks up for 0.75 seconds.
