As someone who frequently uses Poppy ults on the enemy or  (though the use of her ult on supports is not limited to them, only Soraka and Sona don't have too much peel) to get to the enemy carry, I myself find that it's better to ult someone other than the carry simply to block their damage before going in on them, since it then gives me near-complete immunity to all counterplay. That's also the problem with her current ultimate: its function is to remove nearly all counterplay against her for a short while, which isn't healthy. Of course, you could use it the intended way and force a 1v1, or use it the way it's usually used and abuse the immunity it gives, and the very possibility of this occurring is what's bad about her ultimate. I'd rather give Poppy all-around CC reduction and bonuses when moving towards her target, if only because that would allow her ult to be actually balanceable.
