I love pre-reworked Poppy cause she was fun, but she really deserves having her passive and ult replaced or fixed. Poppy is NOT a good example of how to balance a champion. Her ult and passive are really strong, don't even deny it. So what if they balance her by giving her a crappy laning phase? If a champion needs to be balanced by giving them no ranged ability, no waveclear, no sustain and extreme mana problems, it obviously means there is something wrong with the champion themself.

Poppy does not belong in the "balanced" category. Poppy belongs to the heavily restricted category. She takes "hyper-carrying" to a whole new level because her early game is really really weak so that it can hinder a very very strong late game. That is not how a champion should be balanced. There should be a limit between the risk and reward otherwise it creates unreliabilty.

If anyone agrees with how Poppy is balanced atm, then they must be ok with Karthus's ult one-shotting all enemies in the map at the cost of 75% of his total mana and a 10min cooldown because apparantly his ult is "balanced" by the mana cost and cd.
