User blog comment:Alonlah/Poppys viability in the current meta and her status in the PBE./@comment-5761259-20130817030219/@comment-8506165-20130817072856

Weirdly, her E isn't really comparable to Vayne's Condemn even though the way they work is almost identical. Vayne uses Condemn to get people away from her when she's not using it for the stun. Poppy uses E to stick to people, ideally with the stun and as a melee champ will more often be using E to knock enemies towards her team rather than away from them.

It's a bit like Alistar's Headbutt, I find - it can be the ultimate "I'M HELPING" ability where you actually push an enemy to safety when they would've died otherwise, or it can be a death sentence for the target hit by a well-positioned usage - being knocked backwards into a wall and stunned for 1.5s is hard to recover from.
