No but seriously, do you realize how silly a complaint this is? All of these mechanics are common to League, and aren't exclusive to. Poppy already has all of these elements in her current kit, bar the magic damage every X attacks which is a spruced-up version of her current AD bonus on her W. I'd also like to specify my stacks are counted upon every instance of damage dealt (which includes damage from her E), not just basic attacks. I also really don't think this would give Poppy the same playstyle as Jax: Jax builds up his stun and then jumps to his target. Poppy makes a run for her target, tries to pin them to a wall, and try to beat them up before running away. Jax is a bruiser, Poppy is an assassin.

The thing about Morello's "this has to go" attitude is that, no matter how much you'd like to complain about it, it's had a hugely positive impact on League, and it's by removing toxic mechanics and reworking them into something better that the game's going to improve. I'm no Morello, but I agree with him that if an ability is unhealthy, no matter how fun it may seem, it needs to go. Diplomatic Immunity may be fun to use in some cases, and it's that fun I tried to preserve (run through the enemy team, kill your target and run out alive), but it's also really toxic in its current state, and it's the unhealthy aspects to it (namely, the immunity) that I wanted to remove.
