what the fuck is with you guys saying everything is op
Poppy is one the best 6 item characters in the game, but her laning phase is beyond shit.
Bit like Jax, but with even worse laning phase and late game (due to horribad laning phase). :|
Poppy's and Vayne's E skills are the most broken (as in "broken broken") skills in the game. That stun might or might not work depending on last weeks lottery numbers, phase of the moon and general mood of the game.
Poppy is hella fun to play tho.
The reason he has bad laning is because he has to blow all his escapes to engage in most situations. If he doesn't bully the enemy out of lane, he's going to get bullied himself. If he gets bullied, he doesn't get the gold he needs to snowball. So if there's any half decent jungle presence, he's going to get camped all day. If he doesn't get the gold, then he's basically a lackluster initiator.
You can just run up and hit people. It's not the easiest lane in the early levels (like pre-6) but after that it's alright.
