Actually, changing the damage on her Q is a huge bonus to AD Poppy. Currently she converts her attack to magic damage, which means she doesn't benefit from armor penetration, but now she gets a proper autoattack reset. The armor bypass she receives gets moved onto her W passive. She also gets far better sticking power than current Poppy, so instead of being forced into buying a or  to catch up her enemies she gets to build more raw damage.
