^ +1. While it's funny when Poppy's passive works, I admit, it's poorly designed. You can't really play around it for one thing - your spells just lose damage for no reason if they do enough damage, and do full damage if they don't. It's hard to gauge how much it does for her seeing as you just see the "shield" effect when it procs but you've got no idea if that blocked 1 damage or 50 damage without going away and crunching numbers, which you obviously can't do ingame. It neuters some abilities but it's useless against others - DoTs and true damage nukes being the prime examples. All in all... yeah, no chance of it making it into the new Poppy's kit in its current form, little chance of a similar passive going in - Riot have expressed frustration with the "ball of stats" bruiser problem a few times so it's not likely she'll get free defensive stats when low on health either.

I enjoy Poppy but there's no denying she's got kit problems and this rework is pretty deserved.
