Why is poppy so bad

Paragon of Demacia is now Poppy's passive: Upon dealing or being dealt damage Poppy gains a Paragon stack for 4 seconds, stacks up to 5 times.

Devastating Blow : Poppy puts all her strength in to her next attack, 5 second window. Once Poppy has swung her hammer, either on-hit or maybe reactivation, the force of the blow carries Poppy through her target dealing damage in an area around her - She's carried forward as her hammer spins a few times or she sort of flips over her target and slams the ground behind them.

The main thing is Poppy moves and deals aoe damage when her Q hits. W is some new ability. This is an idea I had but it's kind of terrible because I think Poppy would need something better. Diplomatic Immunity : Removes damage immunity and instead makes Poppy more resistant to damage. She's more resistant the lower her health and [maybe] deals more damage to her target the higher her health. Resistance and damage amp have base values so the spell is relivant at all health percentages.

Well in my eyes at least. By design, poppy is a champion that goes in! Your team isn't always prepared and 2. Once you are in, you are in. Make her E a 2 part ability. STEP 1: Throw the hammer.. The second part allows her to jump in as before, doing a little bit of damage at the same time. This way, you can make smarter decisions and that would make up for her other disadvantages. And passive change When I first tried to rework Poppy, I also sort of focused on fixing her.

The problem I ended up with, and the problem with certain parts of your kit namely her passive, W and R , is that there's still a lot of invisible power going on: Poppy getting multiple steroids and passive bonuses that aren't immediately appreciable is less toxic than a Poppy with immunity to most of the enemy team and a confusing yet hugely influential passive, but is still not the best that can be done with her.

Your Q mechanic looks really interesting, and I'd build on that, and I do agree that the core mechanic on her E is worth keeping to some degree, but otherwise I'd completely redo her. She doesn't just need to be fixed: she needs a clearer theme, and a better gameplay identity beyond just the champion with the steepest power curve in the game.

What would help a lot here would be trying to get to the core of what makes Poppy awesome to play: what is it that you love about her, and how would you reinforce that?

What do you want her to do better than anyone else, or what nobody else can do? What should make Poppy stand out from the rest? Even stuff like her invincibility or her immunity could theoretically be kept, provided you turned that bonus into a mechanic with interesting gameplay and interaction with Poppy's opponents. Here's my ideas for reworking her basic skills no idea what to do with the ult and passive that feels poppy-ish. Q- next basic attack flips the target behind her like singed flip but doesn't throw them as far and is on a auto attack.

W- gives a shield which increases her resistances by a percentage while active maybe gives a short burst of movement speed on activation like her live W does. Frankly I say your wrong. Your opinion is wrong, your ideas are bad and you should feel bad.

This has been viewed more than Her videos are the sort you stumble upon while following links blindly down an online rabbit hole: portals to a pastel-washed parallel universe populated by platinum-blond Poppy and her fellow characters — a basil plant and a mannequin called Charlotte. In the first video of Poppy ever posted, in November , she wordlessly consumes candy floss: this has had 2.

In another, she wonders aloud why Selena Gomez has so many social media followers: 2. In one of her higher-concept clips, she kneels in prayer before a metallic P. Poppy says Poppy is an alien, an object, a computer, your pet. She is a pop singer, soon to be the star of her own TV show.

She is the sort of celebrity who could not have existed even half a decade ago: born of and beloved by the internet, and essentially unknown outside of it. That may be about to change. Poppy released her debut album, Poppy. Next month, meanwhile, a television show written and directed by Sinclair will premiere in the Indie Episodic category of the Sundance film festival.

But will it work? Poppy is not the first YouTube star to attempt mainstream celebrity, nor even the biggest. Her subscriber count on YouTube is not public but was reported to be , in August, far smaller than the 17m to 54m who follow its 10 most popular channels. Her point of difference is the small, strange world she has created for herself there, more art project than pop prodigy; and her unshakeable commitment to it — even offline.

There was something about her extreme cuteness combined with the out-of-this-world atmosphere. The content of her videos is negligible; it is Poppy herself who lends them their hypnotic appeal. Though she is very pretty, and presented to seem younger than her 22 years, the effect is unsettling, even sinister — as though David Lynch had drawn from Japanese kawaii culture for a series of straight-to-streaming shorts.

She is in character, and Sinclair is with her on the conference call. The paradox of Poppy is that the mystery around her on the internet has won her more opportunities away from it, where mystery is harder to maintain.

Her public appearances can be excruciating, throwing the weirdness of her online world into sharp relief. If Poppy perplexes people like Pinkus, schooled in internet subculture, she is broadly impenetrable for those who are happily ignorant of it. Audiences at her Poppy.
