Not sure if you thought he wasn't that great before seeing that from reading this. He's always been a top notch player and really entertaining.

I know this post is a few pages back, but I played quite a bit of Poppy and I perform consistently well with her in ranked - only thing is to make sure you see their top first (or at least have Darius banned). From my own experience she's one of the best counters to both Riven and Gangplank - however she also loses really badly to Darius or a good Olaf, but other than that you can farm decently in almost all matchups (by decently I mean she will lose slightly in farm against an equally skilled opponent, but you scale better than them so you're either even or ahead).
There are also surprisingly many champions you will completely snowball against if your jungle just gets 1 good gank off early in the game.

Poppy with a shit ton of health regen is freaking hilarious.

Phantomlord has the most annoying voice of any male person I have ever heard talk.

Poppy is a really binary champion top. She has some serious hard counters (Darius, Olaf, Swain) but counters a lot of other champions (fun fact: if a mid Gragas decides that he would rather be top, he is gonna die a lot even against a bad Poppy).
Also, if you use a good rune/mastery setup, Poppy can freeze the lane with ease, negating the pushing advantage of some champions. Generally Poppy is massively powerfull aginst pure physical top laners (Riven, GP, Panth, Trynd, Nasus), but is hurt by true damage and DoT's. If the machup is doable however she IS gonna outscale and outshine almost any top lane come late game with her insane defensive and offensive steroids. A well played Poppy can even outdamage the AD carry in lategame teamfights.

Swain you should actually win in my opinion.
Not sure what you need to do against Darius... His ult just renders her main selling point completely worthless. But every other matchup you can deal with

From my experience Irelia murders poppy.

That's why I said that Darius or a good Olaf were her hardest matchups. I gotta admit though that against a good Olaf player you will lose.

This is not my experience at all - at around 1.9k-2k Elo I pick Poppy into Irelia ALL the time - I even laned against a 2.3k Irelia main who started 1-0 and I went even in that lane.
|
K lol as I said from my experience and I'm definitely not 2k elo. I'm not even much of a top lane player that's why I thought it was pretty one sided because I'm like 2-0 against poppys.
|
lolwtf irelia definitely rapes poopy.
|
Just saying I don't agree - it may be 15+ Irelias who've been doing something wrong - but I've never lost by more than 20-30 cs against an Irelia (I consider that a win since I scale much much better) - and I've also won in cs a fair amount of times.

The problem I have with phantomlord is all he does is stream him boosting accounts. His Karthus is insane but I never get to see it since he's always smurfing. Can't blame him though, I'm sure he makes a shit ton of money doing it.
edit: Ah it seems he's playing on his main now ^_^. I actually really like his voice. That doesn't make me gay does it?

never not raped poppy as irelia

Did they nerf the xp you get from winning games when lvling your account? I'm leveling my account on NA and this is just ridiculous how much time it's taking,I don't remember it taking so many games to get a lvl up.

It's around 300 games to get to level 30 IIRC

Irelia was pretty tough before the nerfs, after the sustain nerf I've probably won more than I've lost. You need to be really aggressive with trading with Q against Irelia. It's an advantage for Irelia but Poppy should be able to survive pretty well... Then again there's a chance all the players I play against suck but hey Zekent himself said Irelia's fine
