Who Wins
- You have the advantage pre-6 through consistent poke and Q blind disrupting Poppy's trading, but must respect her all-in potential with E stun.
- Post-6 you lose most 1v1s as your R doesn't improve dueling while her R gives significant kill pressure and escape options.
How to Trade
- Focus on short poke trades with auto-Q-auto when Poppy goes for CS, then immediately create distance to avoid her Q retaliation.
- Never commit to extended trades unless her abilities are on cooldown, as her sustained damage and tankiness will overwhelm you.
Wave Control
- Maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to force Poppy to overextend for farm, making her vulnerable to jungle ganks.
- Use your range advantage to harass her off CS while keeping the wave in a favorable position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your Q blind on random poke when Poppy has E available, as you need it to survive her all-in attempts.
- Avoid face-checking bushes or areas where Poppy might be hiding, as her E-flash combos can instantly delete you without proper positioning.
