The problem is that you can very easily generalize any moveset to make it look like it's ripping off another. You can also just as easily differentiate between champions by describing their playstyle:

Poppy is a melee bruiser. Her gapcloser is also her stun, and contributes to the bonus damage on her next basic attack. Her AA reset inflicts damage based on maximum health rather than flat damage, making it better against tanky champions.

Your point is effectively moot. You're complaining that my rework is turning her into a Jax clone by invoking elements that are already present on her live kit. Constructive criticism would be pointing out a gameplay flaw and explaining why it's a problem. You're just complaining that she looks too much like Jax while referencing characteristics belonging to her live kit.

Also, Poppy jungle? When has this terrible strategy ever been attempted?

The reason I removed the stacking AD/armor is because her W gives her a lot of invisible power. I would rather have an impactful damage proc every few attacks than a small amount of AD per attack that ramps up without any clear visual indication. The damage proc is not exclusive to AP Poppy, particularly as AD Poppy will be able to proc it more times. The other problem with stacking AD is that it doesn't really benefit AP Poppy at all, aside from the weird interaction with her Q. AD Poppy's strengh lies in her hybrid damage, which I kept (in fact, AD Poppy will be able to proc the bonus damage a lot more often), whereas AP Poppy's strength lies in her burst. If anything, I buffed them both.

The problem with her current Q is that converting an entire attack to magic damage is actually problematic, and a relic of a time when autoattack resets changed the damage type of an attack instead of adding bonus damage on top. By converting to magic damage every few seconds, AD Poppy gets to bypass a huge amount of armor, but also doesn't benefit too well from armor penetration even if she goes full AD. By splitting the components she still gets a powerful autoattack reset, except the ability no longer creates the same itemization problems.
