Tips Against Poppy as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Demonsedge90 says “Poppy can prove difficult in lane if she activates steadfast presence to shut down Leona's zenith blade engagement (causing you to be stunned on contact). For best results, try to bait out steadfast presence before activating zenith blade, potentially giving you a leg up in the upcoming dive.”

Thefrenchkefta says “My perma ban. She can stop dashes, and she is absolutely goated in supp cause too much damage in early too much tanky and useful in late game.”
offmeta support says “Stops every engage if she doesnt missplay. Lane is winnable but not recommended.”

TnDD says “ENGAGE matchup'larının en zoru bence Poppy. Seni geçitten geçirmiyor. Bard'ı oynarken otomatikmen duvarlara yakın oynaman gerekiyor ve Poppy stun atabiliyor. Koridorda dikkatli ol.”
Taric ADC says “Her W blocks pyke Dashe and her E counters his Dash aswell. Very hard to get kills against.”

mUI0g says “Skilled matchup. Poke from a distance, and do your best to avoid her E engage/stun.”

Smaugyon says “Poppy has been broken for a while now even though i rarely see her in soloQ. She will kill you solo. Her laning power is completly broken you realy cant do much aside from playing safe and avoiding walls. If she pins you you are dead. Trying to match roams is very hard due to her mobility and the deadman's plate rush ”
Senna support by Smaugyon | Senna Player
The Stabbio says “Her W is a direct counter to your E. I found out that you can actually bait her E by standing next to a wall then E-ing fast to avoid her stun, then Q her easily.”
Supportive Pyke Guide! by The Stabbio | Pyke Player
Lumutheslime says “Even if poppy support is rarely seen, she his one of the few who can completely shutdown shen thx to her Steadfast Presence making dash impossible around her and giving extra movespeed to follow up on any roam.”
Aerenax says “Poppy can disengage easily using her W or R. An aggressive Poppy will also be a problem as she will use her W to make you unable to disengage using your Q.”

Tips Against Poppy in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Dom1nus says “Dont dash into her w as it will stop u and she will win the trade. dont stay near walls with low hp and step on the cicrcle that pops to reject her from getting a shield.”

Ballade says “I permaban because her kit fundamentally shuts down ours, but Quinn and Kennen might be more of a problem for you”
[14.24] Mathematically Correct Riven by Ballade | Riven Player
Maniaxx says “Poppy’s engage relies on W (Steadfast Presence), which blocks dashes, but Mundo’s Q (Infected Cleaver) is a ranged poke that can harass Poppy without needing to dash. Poppy lacks the burst to deal with Mundo’s sustain, and Mundo’s Sadism (R) makes it hard for her to execute him. How to deal with Poppy: Be cautious of her W: Poppy’s W can stop your dashes, but you can still poke her from a distance using Q. Build resistances: Poppy deals mostly physical damage, so focus on stacking armor and health.”

Houcs says “Good matchup but note when you are pulling her into your tower she can escape easily by just E'ing out on your minions. Also your E counters her E.”
parker3n9 says “This is an incredibly easy matchup. As long as you position properly and stay away from walls, you should never die, and you’ll have consistent kill threat throughout the game. However, you’ll need to either be excellent at dodging her R or consider picking up a Zhonya’s Hourglass as a third item. The stasis can prevent her from knocking you away during your ultimate, ensuring you maintain control in fights. Recommended Runes: Grasp of the Undying or Aery Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport”
BigBallsLarry says “The Fiora vs. Poppy matchup can be EXTREMELY difficult for inexperienced Fiora players but becomes manageable with practice and patience. Take Teleport as your summoner spell and focus on playing carefully. If you plan to fight often, go with Conqueror as your keystone, but if you’re playing defensively, Grasp works well too. You can parry Poppy’s W if she uses it recklessly. You do this is by using a slide parry combo (Q+W) to stun her. Avoid getting hit by the second part of her Q at all costs, as it deals massive damage and can turn the fight in her favor. Near walls, always be cautious of her E; most Poppy players will try to pin you when the opportunity arises. Predict this and attempt to parry it, but don’t let her bait you into wasting your Riposte. If she gets dangerousily low, she will most likely try to R you away. You can either expect this and Q to dodge it, or dont go in deep when she has her R up. If Poppy builds Bramble Vest, avoid fighting until you’ve completed Ravenous Hydra. The Grievous Wounds effect will significantly weaken your sustain, making fights difficult even if she makes mistakes. Cutdown”
sprdlol says “Bully you in lane and out of lane. Poppy is just a menace for high mobility champions. Take grasp and try to farm up. You can out perform her in teamfight if plays well.”
AMBESSA TOP BUILD AND MATCH-UP TIPS by sprdlol | Ambessa Player
Coke Rat says “Flash + TP. Grasp. Second Wind. Doran's Shield. A good Poppy will make this unplayable. Against bad Poppy players, try to get prio from level 1 and play very aggressive. Remember Poppy's W CD is 20s, trade in this window.”
Fighter Ambessa Top Guide by Coke Rat | Ambessa Player
Raideru says “This matchup, u play without hookshot or you only use it if she can't react fast enough with w, when u go for minions always look to q her so she can't damage you with her q and look to perma poke her with w, this matchup is rly annoying if the poppy plays properly but later u outscale just don't fall behind in early. I advise Ravenous rush since the level of poke is rly high in this lane even go vampiric scepter firstt reset with sustain runes. I advise Conqueror with Resolve here.”
