I think that you could make a small change to make poppy MUCH better.

By design, poppy is a champion that goes in! she goes in hard! .. the problem is twofold. 1. Your team isn't always prepared and 2. you don't always know what you are getting in to. Once you are in, you are in.

fix? Make her E a 2 part ability. STEP 1: Throw the hammer.. it has the exact effects that your skill has now except you don't actually go in. STEP 2: GO IN! The second part allows her to jump in as before, doing a little bit of damage at the same time. ... if the hammer pushes them against a wall and hits them, AWESOME.. go in!! if not.. well at least you didn't turret dive for no reason.

This gives her more ability to control a lane, gives her a chance to make smarter decisions whether to go in or not AND it gives her team a little HEADS UP that she might be going in. POPPY IS AMAZING.. but she is hard as balls to play right! This way, you can make smarter decisions and that would make up for her other disadvantages.
