User blog comment:Alonlah/Poppys viability in the current meta and her status in the PBE./@comment-5556439-20130817004833

She doesnt do enough good to be placed in a specialized spot when someone else can do her job better.

Shes a Tanky Carry Initiator Assassin but only has 10% of what makes each of those good. She doesnt do enough overall, and her early game is lackluster PARTLY because of her insane mana costs and to be honest, shit tier E.
