I've mentioned this before, but AP Poppy actually deals far more burst damage than AD Poppy. Like, almost laughably higher burst. The downside is that, as you pointed out, she's really only that monstrous twoshotter well into lategame- AP Poppy has an even worse early and mid game than AD.

AD Poppy can also deal more sustained damage by far.

Simply put, you take AP Poppy if you think your team can wait until lategame pretty well without issues AND you need to gib an enemy (any enemy, even the tank if necessary) in complete safety, due to her ult.

You take AD poppy if you want to hurt entire teams over a couple of seconds, and your teammates would kinda appreciate having a 5v5, not a 4.5v5.
