So... Poppy's Q seem massively overrated to anyone else? It's essentially an on-hit effect with 375 base damage (in-game at least it says the % plus base damage cannot exceed a threshold, otherwise it's 475 base damage) and mediocre scaling. The only reason I can imagine people seeing it as being really strong is because they see large red sections of enemy health bars and don't realize that most of that is simply the auto attack itself and on-hit effects like sheen. I mean if we're talking about high base damages here, why don't we see any triforce zileans? 340 base damage Q, then an auto attack, will do about as much as Poppy's Q. It's sort of the same thing as Gangplank's Q hype - yeah, it's a large chunk of damage. But any champion with an ability that does 250 physical damage (extra damage from Gangplank Q if it crits with IE) will do more by simply using that plus an auto attack.

Although I will not argue that Poppy's W, passive, and ult are deservingly rated as strong.
