Had so much fun with her recently.

Went agains Vi in top lane. At first he went very agressive getting 2 kills in about 15 minutes. I was very careful but he could just use ultimate and then use Q to escape the turret after kill.

The situation changed after I took Randuin's Omen and Sheen. Oh boy... He was not even prepared for that kind of ownage. He wanted to dive me, I slammed him onto the wall and took almost half of his health with a single Q. Then ult, ignite and bonus true damage thanks to ultimate. He was dead in no time.

It happened again and again. He simply forgot to put any magic resist. From him being 2/0 and me being 0/2 I went 7/2 and he went 2/5.

Poppy can really devastate most of the popular top laners with her kit (Vi, Aatrox, Zed, Riven, Malphite, Kha Zix, Rengar) since her Q does health to damage and it is magic damage, and there is only a handful of MR items that could fit into some champions. For example, have you ever seen a Vi with Maw Of Malmortius? Or Kha Zix, or Malphite with magic resist first.

Those are my 2 cents on her. She can counter most popular top laners but you need to play smart and build smart. Once they think they can beat you, hammer them, HAMMER THEM HARD!
