You should try hybrid Poppy. By far the best in my experience. Get a Regrowth Pendant --> Philosophers stone as first item. This helps you tremendously with your early game. You can harass without having to be too careful in the long run from your low hp. Then build Boots + Mana Crystal. Then Sheen + lvl2 boots. Then build a Hextech Revolver --> Gunblade. This helps you regen even more and stay in the game farming jungle and lanes without having to B. Then go for the trinity force and finally an infinity edge. Everything after that is situational. Shurelya's Reverie is nice because it gives you more cooldown + a neat get-away/chasedown active. I don't usually get it though. Getting a Will of the Ancients ( or someone else on ur team getting it) makes life fun as you get 50% spell vamp. Hitting 600 on ur Devastating will give you back 300hp, helps you run in and out of team fights smacking people up for a lot longer. But yeah hybrid gives the nice balance between improved Q and E damage with a higher normal damage output to farm minions and deal more sustained damage. Remember that even though Q and E scale 60% with AP, Q scales 100% with AD aswell.
