First of all I have to say that this rework is probably the best any champion got until now! Her Kit is exceptional and she is not op at all. Atm it's actually the opposite because her Laning Phase feels too weak. There are many different reasons for that (LvL 1-6):

Her passive is supposed to help her in a tough Lane, but has a way too high CD (18 sec) to be really helping or relevant. The range is too low so that if she wants to get a creep kill with her passive the enemy can just harass her before she gets the Last Hit/Shield. The shield is not even that strong in Laning Phase wich means that you take high Risk for low Reward. Also the bonus magic damage (20-70) is just comparable to a half or extra attack hit at most. And If you try to use that passive more offensive her buckler lands to hard reachable place where the enemy has an advantage reaching it before you.

In general her Cooldowns are too high, which makes it impossible to win trades without her Ultimate or E Ability.

Her Q Range is low and the Slow is weak so that you usually never get to damage your lane opponent with both instances of the damage. The Q has a high Cast time so that if you decide to use Q you will have a hard to time to stick to your opponent. That means that you need CC to get the maximum damage from Q.

So the only really winnable trade order is when you stun your opponent with E, then Q and stick with W. But anyone who knows that just has to make sure that behind him is no wall...

Tough Life as Poppy in Laning Phase. That's my feedback after 10 games at least.
