In season 2 i ran poppy with 3 movespeed items (besides boots) and 3 items that applied slow. I'm wondering if it's viable to do something similar while still maintaining relative tankiness. Old Build:

Trinity Force - move speed, and applies slow

Hextech Gunblade - applies slow

Randuin's Omen - applies slow

Force of Nature - move speed

Shureyla's Reverie - move speed

I basically want the same build as last season, but this season killed it's health regen, so i doubt it's tankiness. Scimatar can replace Force of Nature, and Randuin's lost all of it's regen properties. Also this build is missing 10% CDR that last season's items had. So what are other options?

Zephyr - move speed, tenacity, CDR

Twin Shadows - move speed, applies slow

Shard of True Ice - applies slow

Mercurial Scimatar - move speed

Frozen Fist - applies slow, CDR

Stattik Shiv - move speed

Guinsoo's Rageblade - dual vamp (when below 50%)

Maw of Malmortious - synergises with Guinsoo's

Frozen Fist and Mercurial Scimatar are already a great item tandem. Hextech Gunblade will likely be in every Popy build. Zephyr increases dps, has great move speed, grants tenacity, and has CDR so drop that right in! This build is lackin in armor and some health won't hurt, besides running Ninja Tabi.

Randuin's Omen - It's back, but with increased health and sure slows on auto attackers

Ohmwrecker - Really helps with the towerdiving, but seems like a late game item

Runic Bulwark - doesn't offer as much armor, but does have an aura, health regen, and it's possible to stack it for better cost efficiency

Locket of the Iron Solari - more CDR, health regen, and a shield. Stacks nicely with Guinsoo's and Maw

Spirit of the Ancienct Golem - a different tenacity item available, with health regen attached.

My personal choice will likely be Ohmwrecker, as building an early Catalyst will really increase Poppy's trading and sustain in lane. The alternative would be Getting a philosopher's stone (like most poppy's should) and turn it into an Eleisa's Miracle around lvl 8 and rebuy a philosopher's stone to sell or upgrade later on.
