Pair with an ADC who has strong waveclear, like Sivir, to hold the lane while you roam. Capitalize on solo experience and Bard's passive to scale effectively. Focus on roaming to impact other lanes once your ADC is in a safe position.

Tip

Keep in mind that Poppy can stun you with Heroic Charge (E) when you are trying to pass through terrain with Magical Journey [E]. Punish Poppy in lane as she lacks ranged skills except for her Iron Ambassador (P). Poppy is slowed when she is charging up her Keeper’s Verdict (R), making her an easy target to freeze with Tempered Fate [R].
