Talk:Poppy/@comment-178.166.24.118-20130120023659

I had a discussion about Elise where I stated that without jungler interference she was nearly unbeatable at top lane except by sustain whores (Yorick, Nidalee, Vlad...). Then a guy goes ahead and says Poppy can beat Elise at top lane. I thought the guy was out of his mind, how could one of the worst laners in the game beat one of the strongest bullies? He said that Poppy's passive makes Elise's Q-Q-Q-Q-Q during laning phase much less effective than against any other champion, even those with shields. And unlike Teemo or Nidalee her autos will barely hurt unless she's in Spider form. Also, the fact that most Elises stacked HP items like Liandry's or Rylais would just increase the damage on Q, pretty much the same mechanic as Elise herself. Finally he said Elise couldn't push the lane as well as most top laners, meaning it was harder to push Poppy to her turret and force her to spend mana at last hitting while tanking harass.

Since Elise is pratically picked or banned in 50% of the games does anybody wanna try this matchup and see how it feels?
