Poppy's passive seems to encourage building no armor/magic resistance/HP. I don't see how else to maximise the passive's effect.

At lvl18 any damage exceeding 0.1(423+81*18)=188.1 dmg is halved. Trydamere crits for 800 dmg: (800-188.1)*0.5 = 306 dmg reduction.

Ofc this applies to 10% of Poppy's CURRENT HP so if Poppy was 50% hp - this effect is even more awesome. In any case, the dmg reductions reaches towards (although never actually reaching) 50% which is equivalent to 100MR and 100 Armor. All this can be done with no defensive items whatsoever.

Focusing on a high DPS sustain build seems to outclass Tanky DPS Poppy in many ways.
