How to Play
This build focuses on an aggressive playstyle, and you will be building AD items. Because of this, we recommend that you only take this build if you love to play aggressively. During the laning phase, look for opportunities to skirmish with the enemy with your Q and E. You should look to abuse the enemy as often as you can and go for those short, all-in bursty trades.
When you hit level 6, your kill pressure increases, and if you’re versus a weak laner, you can kill them over and over again in lane! Outside of the laning phase, make sure you’re split pushing and looking to apply pressure to the side lanes. You can Ult anyone who you think you can easily kill and you basically repeat this every time it comes to fighting!
Runes Explained
As Poppy, you should take Attack Damage Marks, as this is going to increase your damage output in lane and make you a bigger threat while trading with the enemy Top Laner. We will then take Armor Seals, as this protects us when we trade with the enemy. Their auto-attacks will deal less damage, and it will increase your survivability in lane.
You should take Magic Resistance Glyphs as it will protect you versus AP Champions, and if you Ult the enemy Mid Laner, it will make it easier for you to kill them/survive. Finally, you should take AD Quints to increase your damage output.
Masteries Explained
Your main goal when playing Poppy is to snowball and kill your lane opponent over and over again in lane. You will then become a big monster during the mid and late game. This is why we recommend that you go 21 points in the Offense tree, as it helps to achieve this by providing extra AD and bonus stats to make it easier to kill your lane opponent.
For your secondary tree you could choose either Utility or Defense, but the Defense tree will give you extra defensive stats to make you a bit tankier and increase your survivability in lane.
