EPTI usually mix in a chainvest or a negatron after the cutlass. You could build shurelias after this, but chances are that someone else has it, and you are better off going for damage (BF sword item) or improved defense (upgrade chainvest/negatron).

After that you get some tank items. The thing is tho, with Poppy, you don't really need that much survivability items early on due to your W, your ult, and your imba passive. | ||

Depends on the enemy Top, if you're facing a Trynd, Gp, Rengar etc, then a good poppy will faceroll and snowball like no tomorrow. Armorrunepage op. Against AP-champs she has a much harder time, laning against Rumble, Akali, Teemo, etc is absolutely no fun. Most matchups are skillbased, my favourite Matchups are Olaf (you have to get a big lead very early or he will rape you), Kha (50/50) and Nasus (Farmfest aka who can carry harder lategame?) Even in the current health-stacking meta a farmed Poppy is able to kill the enemy adc in 9 out of 10 teamfights. That Ult... | ||

Sure it's without laning part, but you get used to her skills, when and how to use them, then play normal. | ||

Gunblade/Bork can be nice as it gives you more sticking power. On the defensive side, FH is a decent pickup. Generally speaking, you want 1-2 offensive items then just tank up. Between your passive+ult+tanky items you can literally 1v5 past a certain point. | ||

Basically: your preferred opening - philo/kindlegem/armor item - sheen/phage - phage/sheen - TF - Shurelias/cutlass - cutlass/Shurelias - GB/BoTRK/Defensive items Some games you might be able to get an IE or similar to supercharge your damage after this build, but don't expect to get this far. | ||

What should I use as a general build? Trinity/botrk, or should I go for gunblade? I've been running flash but ghost feels mandatory as I can't stick to people without it. Good/bad matchups? I know she can struggle vs champs who do true damage but what others does she have? Is she good vs any of the current fotm? | ||

Poppy lanes best against high-burst champs, though she doesn't appreciate taking free autoattack harass and most mages are ranged. Cleanse is an option to consider, as Poppy really hates ignite; the problem is Flash and Ghost are both really good as well. I think with DFG as it currently is, AP Poppy is the way to go, since you're guaranteed to truck at least one person before they can make a meaningful contribution to the fight. I think AD Poppy should get Tiamat/Hydra first for farming power, but I'm open to being disagreed with. Hybrid Poppy has been trashcans since the Sextech Funblade nerf.. | ||

She has more than decent ganks but meh clear but with the current jungle items anyone can clear decently after some point. Since you're poppy you don't really need to build tanky and can rush triforce which is really good on her. I've always found the problem with jungle Poppy is you can't afford all the items you need to be a real threat. You're really dependent on a few particular items (DFG Lichbane for AP, Hydra Triforce for AD) and even with boosted jungle farm you just can't afford it all in a reasonable timeframe. | ||

She is not a top or jungle champion, but mid. I went 20-5 or something with her as mid in diamond elo and it is a hundred times easier than trying to survive top (banning out ori when I could, the shield is annoying). Jungle isn't very good either due to several reasons, but some of them might have changed this season. And even if you build pure AD on poppy, her damage is about 70% magical so you're basically an AP carry anyway. You might say she gets bullied pre6 and yes she somewhat does, but her passive, w and the 440 shield is more than enough to stay in lane. As soon as you can afford sheen (sometimes hexd) and is lvl6, no ap mid champion can bully you anymore (if they have under 80% hp at any point they WILL die to one burst). I admit some games were won due to misjudgments where you run low and they 2v1 dive you and you get double kill, it happened mostly because people weren't used to playing against poppy. But even if those situations doesn't occur and their mid play defensive you will be relatively fat into mid game, and fat poppy midgame is almost autowin. | ||

I'm usually really afraid of the whole "warning this post is 3 months old, if you bump, we'll ban you" or the whole "anything you post in a champion thread is here forever and will hurt newbs" spiel, but w/e. Poppy rework incoming eventually (tm). She's going to lose her ult and get turned into a tank. | ||
