Poppy·Support Counters

Make sure you’re never near a wall otherwise Poppy will be able to use her E and push you into it.

Whenever Poppy throws her Buckler and it lands near you, try to step on it. However, do not over commit to destroying it as she may use your positioning to play aggressive.

Post 6 it’s going to be difficult for you to kill Poppy as she will probably use her Ultimate R to knock you away. Keep this in mind and hold on to any CC abilities until she starts the channel.

Avoid fighting around objectives as Poppy may use her Ultimate R to knock away the Jungler and cost your team the Baron/ Dragon.

In team fights, disengage and avoid team fighting in the jungle as it will allow Poppy to get a good knockup with her Ultimate R or pick off a key target with her E.

Fighting around Poppy’s Ultimate R is a good way of winning team fights. She will knock back the frontline and then engage on to the carries while the frontline is missing. Try to dodge her Ultimate R, or use CC abilities on her so her channel is interrupted.

Poppy doesn’t spike at level 6 like most Supports as her Ultimate R is mostly a utility tool. However, she can use it from close range to start a fight. Keep this in mind and keep your distance.

The more gold Poppy gets under her belt, the stronger she will be. Take note that you will have to invest in armor or magic pen items if you want to break through her defensive stats.

Once Poppy has both her E and Q unlocked, her all-in potential increases. Try your hardest to stand away from walls at all times during the laning phase.
