poppy is a BEAST late game

but poppy has issues early game, deny her xp stop her from last hitting and you should beat her due to gold difference/xp mid game and have much more gold late game since she won't have a really good mid game if you denied her xp and last hiting.

mostly its like nasus: outfarm him and get ahead of xp in early game, ask your jungler gank him a lot and making him back as much as possible, some chars have awesome early game but average late game and some have weak early and awesome late

see heimer, early his turrets are good his a decent champ and late game he's  free xp/gold because his abilities barely scale and turrets get one hitted by carries
