Her design is not a coincidence, she was meant to be a tank. If you build her as one she will fit the role just fine, people just initially found out that she's better suited as a burst assassin, and Riot didn't do anything about it so I guess they were fine with that.

Keep in mind that Poppy is almost unchanged since her release in January 2010 (which will be 4 years in a couple of weeks) so she's in a pretty bad spot.

My personal thoughts on her design as a long standing Poppy player: I like the "small, armored juggernaut that slams people around for tons of damage" a lot, but I wouldn't mind if they made her more tank-ish, as long as she'll be as disruptive and unkillable as she is now.
