"She has good sustain due to her passive"

That would be tankiness. Sustain is the ability to regenerate to maximum stats over time (i.e. health and mana regen, life steal, spell vamp, manaless resource systems, etc.), tankiness is the ability to take lots of damage. You can have sustain tanks like or, but Poppy's sustain is actually not that good: her health regeneration is okay, but her mana regen is one of the worst among all champions.

I really like Poppy. I love that her Q can absolutely wreck anyone it hits, and landing an E stun feels supremely good. People underestimate her, and it's always hilarious to surprise towerdive them, wreck their face and get away scot-free. I really like that there is a clear distinction between AP Poppy (super-bursty) and AD Poppy (unstoppable). However, I also think she has some serious problems that can't be fixed with simple buffs or nerfs. Her kit's all over the place with free steroids and tankiness, and her passive and ultimate are both extremely powerful yet very unhealthy to gameplay. I think she needs buffs to her mana and reduced ability costs to be viable, but first she needs a rework so that she doesn't cripple the game by suddenly becoming widely played.
