Ancient coin and Nomad's Medalion have really helped boost Poppy's early game. Most Poppy player's concentrated on just staying in lane for the experience, maybe winning a trade to someone that go cocky, and trying to farm enough gold for philo stone. The counter play was making sure that she couldn't go near a minion without taking hits, which made just earning philostone a challenge at times. Getting good with Poppy was learning to perform while completely underfarmed early.

The Ancient Coin now gives Poppy's far more gold early than we are used to, allowing us to get things like sheen a lot earlier with lower risk. Albiet, most Poppy's will still be less farmed than their counterpart, but not by as large of a margin as we used to.
