The crazy thing is that it's 10% of current health. So the lower Poppy's HP is the harder she is to kill.

It's also why DoT champions like Malzahar, Swain etc. are the closest things to counters in the game. Because their damage comes in lots of smaller ticks rather than in one large chunk they don't get as screwed by the passive as other people.

It's hard to accurately mathcraft due to the 10% health restriction and its dependence on the flux of damage, but in the ideal case (arbitrarily high damage or low health) the effective Resistance boost is 100+ Resist, or 2*Resistance + 100 total. So at 100 armour (Poppy also has a natural 90 Armour at level 18), you're effectively at 300 armour against high damage attacks. That actually isn't quite as good as it sounds, as the passive is added after the Resistance modifier, but it's still stupidly powerful for a passive.

Which is to say, poppy with 100 armor could theoretically hit 75% damage reduction with her passive (50% reduced by armor, 50% reduced by passive). Of course, since some portion of the damage is only reduced by armor, it's going to be less by some amount, but it's still just as retarded strong as you think it is. You're basically unthreatened by burst and really beefy attackers.


i was wrong so i math crafted it out. the situation i used was if poppy has 100 hp how much damage do you need to one shot her.
at zero resists it will take 190 damage to kill a poppy which is a damage reduction of 47.37% or the equivalent of 90 resists.
at 100 resists if it applies before armor it will take 390 damage which is a damage reduction of 74.35% or the equivalent of 289 resists so the passive gives 189 resists.
at 100 resist if it applies after armor it will take 380 damage which is a damage reduction of 73..68% or the equivalent of 279 resist so the passive gives 179 resists.

so in ideal cases it gives an absolutely retarded amount of resist.

its impossible to math it out effectively, its like trying to put a armor value on trynds ult. the way it works is completely different to how resists work anyway, so why are you trying to compare them

Resists are a damage modifier, as is Poppy's passive. It's a legitimate (though complicated by the 10% damage thing) comparision.

Her armor's actually a lot higher than 90 - even though 90's tied for the highest base in the game with Maokai, she also has a passive that grants her another 35 armor when it's fully stacked. She's basically as physically tanky as Taric (125 armor vs 131~), except with the imba passive on top of that.

The fact that nobody's picked up on this yet and rode it to victory is one of LoL's greatest mysteries.

It's because Poppy has one of the most broken power curves in the game. Her laning phase is atrocious, but her lategame is unarguably overpowered.

If by some colossal miracle (mistake) Riot ever takes my advice on shit the first thing I would push for would be for poppy to get remade.

Closest things... they completely counter Poppy. Garen does as well, as does Wukong. She has plenty of counters. You have to realize that she needs the passive, she'd be absolute shit if it wasn't so good.

The fact that nobody's picked up on this yet and rode it to victory is one of LoL's greatest mysteries.

it's partially because poppy historically had a hard time laning anywhere. prior to sustain champs being nerfed, poppy (along with like 80% of the champion pool) simply couldn't compete with pre-nerf udyr, ww and all those other sustain assholes. mid and bot isn't good for poppy either since ranged harass is pretty strong against her (no sustain and low-damage, low-cooldown sources of harass basically ignores her passive) and can wreck her. As a result, people never really played poppy...like ever. Nobody, be it mid or high elo, really mastered poppy; not to mention when people did play poppy it was usually with an inferior AP poppy build.

Now, with Zekent, Spamhappy, and Dyrus learning and playing a crapton of Poppy games, along with nerfs to those old OP champs Poppy can actually lane somewhere and abuse her OP skillset.

W-first Poppy should, in theory, be just about impossible to remove from lane as a near-pure or pure physical source (Tryndamere, Riven come to mind).

IMO nerf her lategame a bit and make her charge into a line AoE damage source.

Does anyone have a list of champions what the current NA carries can play competently?

Scarra - Karthus, Veigar, Ryse, Cassio (what else? I really haven't seen him on much else tbh)
Nyjacky - Morganna, Veigar ( me is so clueless about curse )
Regianld - Gragas, Lebalnc, Sion, Ryse, Cassio (and Ziggs I guess but the past few times I've seen his ziggs I wasn't very impressed)
Jiji - TF, Anivia, Ryse (?)
Go go Alliance.

Poppy is definitely sleeper OP imo. The only reason why there's no QQ about her is because her skill curve is one of the highest in LoL and she's been flying under the radar for so long.

I mean, honestly, that passive and ulti is by far amongst the most broken skills in all MOBAs everywhere, including DotA.

W first, why? It doesn't even do anything vs trynd, her passive already affects the crits significantly enough, and yes Poppy is a counter to tryndamere


If you're worried about Poppy pick a Wukong, Vladimir, OLAF(impossible lane), Irelia, even Malzahar, Warwick or something like that against her.

I definitely think she's not going to be considered overpowered until......

People start playing her bottom lane with a support so that she actually CAN get absolute freefarm with the combination of her passive and armor stacking.

Poppy has long been amongst the champs I hate and brand as 'unfun' to play against the most, along with Yorrick, and more recently Fizz (I enjoy playing skillshot champs) and Ziggs (because people don't know how to deal with his poke).
I'm really not going to like it if she gains popularity.

Oh, Goliath. I missed that last post.
