Ekko vs Poppy Matchup Summary

The Ekko vs Poppy matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Ekko wins with a 87.5% win rate compared to Poppy's 12.5%, giving Ekko a 75.0 percentage point advantage. Ekko dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Poppy players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Ekko players can confidently pick into Poppy and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Poppy away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
