>Vi's ult has counterplay

>Poppy's ult is retarded

Positioning and team coordination will do far more to stop Poppy's ult than Vi's. Granted, few people even seem to know what Poppy's ult does (the number of time I've seen teams try and focus an ulting Poppy...) but if everyone on the team knows what she does and has a plan to deal with her, she's more useless than Vi could ever be.

(I'm not saying Poppy's ult is totally K, no change needed. I'm just saying it's far from the "LEAST COUNTERPLAY ABILITY IN ALL OF LEAGUE" that everyone seems to make it out to be. It still needs changing at some point, but practically no-one picks Poppy atm anyway.)

Also Vi can pull of some pretty horrendous coordinated plays (Vi/Yasuo, Vi/Orianna, Vi/Lulu, Vi/Rengar...) so it's not like she's immediately useless as soon as you leave YoloQ for ranked 5s or whatever.
