Coming back to Poppy for a bit:
I have been playing her like this (and I quite like it):

MPen/Armor/MRpL/MSpd

9 offense: 1 crit, 3 AP, 15% MPen
6 defense: 2 SoS
15 utility: 3 Good Hands, 1 Greed, 3 Meditation, 3 MSpd

Ghost + Ignite

Doran's Shield
Swiftness + Sheen in whatever order feels right
DFG
Lichbane
no game really went past this point
(defense as necessary)

If my enemies have lots of MRes, I would consider skipping the DFG and building towards Ghostblade + Triforce. Only got a Ghostblade once though, and only because it annoyed me that Yi managed to run from me with less than 5% HP remaining.
I also got a Philosopher's Stone once because I was laning with a Sivir and almost never got any farm. Didn't stack them, but it didn't seem to be very bad.

I still suck at comboing properly, I always forget to use my DFG (or I use it after I already took half their HP), and often I waste my R because I misjudge the range of my E or other stuff like that. Practice will solve that though, hopefully.

Opinions on the runes/masteries? Improvements for the physical damage centered build? What AP item to get after Lichbane? I also wonder if MPen really is better than APen on Poppy, considering that I also have the 15% MPen, the Sheen procs are physical, and APen runes are stronger than MPen.

Man, I haven't played in like a month. WTF is this game coming to? 5HIT 1800, Alistar, Blitz & Evelynn solid picks, Urgot being better than Garen?

Is this the apocalypse?

I just had a game with xpecial last night. We got eve and she dominated their 1900 ww. I was all over anyone nuts when they got on xpecial, he was super legendary. Looking at his match history he went 15/2/8. They had two early oracles, which mad them run away prematurely several times to protect, until we just tower dived to get rid of them. Eve is just a whore when counter jungling, she might not be able to gank, but she can't be stopped from doing it.

edit: Looks like you played him right after I did.

Generally in games where nobody shit talks me first I don't shit talk anyone at all. As soon as someone calls me a bad when I'm crushing them though...

But yeah, I tend not to rage or flame at the higher levels of play because there are clear reasons for losses. It's the low levels of play where we're just like "HOW THE FUCK ARE WE LOSING TO THESE BADS" that get to me.

Like, if I had lost this game I wouldn't have even cared, 4v5 and all. Xpecial and Reap22 aren't pushovers and I kinda feel like losing to them wouldn't be inconceivable.
