Now, I love playing as Poppy. Mostly because of the reasons you stated. But in order for W to outrun ghost that particular Poppy had to have poured on a whole lot of speed items. (Might have been me, actually because it's what I do.)

But OP? Not at all. Poppy is tough, but she can't hold up to focus fire or DOTs very well. Ignite tears her up pretty good because she does't roll with a lot of HP and her passive doesn't work against ignite. She can burst damage really hard, but if she doesn't get the kill she is ussually in trouble in a prolonged fight. Her mana pool is ridiculously small. She ults, charges, hammers. .. she's empty. She might have had enough to W in or out. Because of those deficiencies she is heavily dependent on items, and she is an absolutely miserable farmer.

She is fun, and can take down just about any champ 1 on 1. Even if that 1 on 1 is in the middle of a team fight. (In some cases ESPECCIALLY if that 1 on 1 is in a team fight. Nothing like popping an ult on Veigar's team mate then charging right through his group stun to crush that little bastard) but if she was OP you would see a lot more of her when she wasn't free. And you just don't.
