Not every character needs to shine throughout every part of the game; weakness in one section is almost always offset by strength in another, as you've mentioned, and combined that creates "balance". Assassins in general have weak laning phases because they're designed to decimate single targets, not groups. One thing Poppy definately IS awesome at in lane is surviving tower divers like a baus.

I'd say a nerf would be more likely than a buff at this point (probably to the ult), but luckily Poppy has been given a stealth-nerf since the day she was released: HER CHARACTER ART.
