I play a lot of Poppy and honestly, its 50/50. If you played Poppy a while, you realize her passive can be a bit too strong with Grasp and her damage can be absurd even with no damage items. However, her damage relies mostly on the mistakes of the opponent.

Passive can't really be played around with. You either back of and wait for Poppy to use it to farm, or take it like a boss. It hurts, but if you deny her shield you can the outrade her easy (depending on laner, obviously). Her Q is usually predictable, so just keep moving. As long as you only get hit once, it doesnt doo much. Her E is mainly positioning yourself forcing the opponent to change his positioning as well. If he doesnt, her damage becomes hard to  manage. If he does, she won't do much better than the opponent.

The changes on PBE are too rough. If they really wanna keep Poppy as a disruptor, removing W damage is one way to do it (canceling dashes, giving you MS and passive defenses is already enough). Taking damage from her primary damage skill is wrong, since W is not guaranteed to even be usable, E needs a wall, and ulti doesnt really do much damage (it does damage, just not that much)
