Poppy is a versatile and powerful champion excelling in multiple roles like Top, Support, and Jungle. Her robust kit, featuring high percentage-health damage, strong tankiness, and potent crowd control, makes her a meta-defining pick.
Poppy boasts a surprisingly strong early game with her Q's %HP damage and passive shield. Master her W (Steadfast Presence) to effectively block dashes and utilize E (Heroic Charge) for reliable wall stuns, which has a forgiving hitbox.
While strong, she's often safer as a counter-pick, particularly in the Top lane, to avoid unfavorable matchups. Her ultimate can serve both as an initiation tool and a crucial disengage/peel in team fights, requiring careful engagement.
