Seriously, Poppy is the best late game assassin when it comes to taking down enemy AD carry. You ignore her entire team with that ult, so no matter what kind of supports and tanks they have, you WILL get the kill. Ghost + W + Hextech Gunblade active + Phage proc = impossible to get away. The question is: why I see no Poppys? I play her myself, and she feels so OP to me. Even her laning is not that bad as most people say, just pack some defensive runes, start with Regrowth Pendant, later buy Philosopher's Stone and Heart of Gold, when laning try to stay at 30%~50% of your HP and you should win all the trades, farm as much as possible and it's basically a free win when late game comes. The only real solo top counter to Poppy is Darius because of his passive and ultimate which completely ignore Poppy's passive. My final build is Mercury's Treads (or Ninja Tabi if they have no CC, but it's most likely not going to happen), Trinity Force, Hextech Gunblade, Infinity Edge, Madred's Bloodrazor, Guardian Angel. Also, as Asperon Thorn said, always take Heal and Ghost as summoner spells. Those are just the best for Poppy. Baiting enemies into thinking that you're an easy kill is the most satisfying thing ever.
