Dam right. Not to mention Poppy is moderately gear dependant so she needs at least 1 staple item to give damage or defence. I do believe I've mentioned Sheen before Glacial. Sheen based items are near compulsory on most Fighter types, especially Melee Fighters.

@88.207.2.199: Building Poppy like an ADC is plain troll. Seriously, in today's meta, every Champ the opposition uses all have some form of CC. Poppy won't be able to do shitt if she becomes completely Ulti dependant. Her ulti still runs on a 60 second CD and this is with maxed CDR. Not to mention the CC Poppy has is terrain dependant.

With the exception of the jungle, every lane she goes to in SR, she will have serious trouble. Go Top Lane and there are so many Champs with betr regen rate, damage, dash or blink tech that she will be outmatched. Not to mention 80% of the Top Laners can make use of the brush in some way. Poppy can't do that.

Go Mid Lane, we don't even need to discuss this, she gets crapped on regardless of her kit until lvl 6 and even then she can't do much.

Bot Lane, she can't go as the aggresser. Poppy has to go as a defensive support. Not in the sense of gettin gears that are supportive but she has to be played supportively. For example, you have to make sure that u can save ur carry's asss with ur E and burst down the targets the carry is attacking.

She has no genuine stickin power and is prone to taking a beating thats why you need the Mallet, for sticking power, survivability, some boost to ur AA, as well as give leverage for u to make full use of ur E. Poppy functions a bit like Vayne when it comes to her E so puttin emphasis in positioning is crucial in this area.

Also, depending on ur lane and match up, u will need to rely on different gears and different tactics. Poppy may be good against Burst types as the fight drags on, but if ur focused, u still die. Not to mention against On-Hit types that use smaller amounts of damage or apply Damage over time effects like Kayle or Teemo completely counter her. In this respect, you go to Top Lane, say goodbye to Darius who not only has major burst to break a squishy target but also has a DoT Innate. Go Mid Lane, Malzahar, Heimerdinger, Karthus and only God knows how many other Mages/Assassins fk u up.

Go Bot, u still won't have much chance, but at least there aren't many counter picks and even if there was, u got a teammate with u.

You really wanna go ADC? Ur funeral.
