Close to 2000 is an exaggaration, but her Q is one of the most powerful nukes. Read the ability carefully and you will see why Poppies hit so hard.

It has 5 seperate damage components.


 * It deals her AD, since it's a next hit modifier. It also crits. Poppy has a high base AD, and also gets up to 35 free AD from her "W", which is 35 more damage for Q.


 * It has a base damage, up to 100.


 * It deals bonus damage based on the target's maximum health, up to 375.


 * It has an AP scaling.


 * Applies on-hit effects, including Sheen, Trinity Force and Lich Bane.

And all of that damage is turned into magic damage. All of this also gets increased by 40% if she has her ultimate on the target.

Most targets have 30 non-scaling magic resist, and people tend to forget that most of Poppy's damage is magic.
