The problem with running Poppy with a support bot is:

-You will inevitably get pushed out of lane with less CS than their ranged, even if you're running armor Yellows, Blue, Quints, 9/21/0, Cloth 5, and a point in W at level 1. Resistances only go so far.

-Running Poppy against any ranged champion is essentially countering yourself.

-In many cases people fail to realize how Poppy's lategame works, so you will more than likely get trolled. This goes to the extent that the would-be support player goes AD Carry and fucks the game up.

It CAN work, and when it works, it works well. I've had some success with Taric/Poppy and Karma/Poppy lanes but it's all very situational and you will not win your lane at all.
