Poppy vs Ivern Matchup Summary

The Poppy vs Ivern matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Poppy wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Ivern's 40.0%, giving Poppy a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Ivern controls the early laning stage, but Poppy outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Ivern needs to press advantages before Poppy reaches their power spikes, while Poppy should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Poppy leads by 885 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Poppy players can confidently pick into Ivern and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Ivern away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
468Poppy
379Ivern

Sustain
1,625Poppy
740Ivern
Poppy vastly out-sustains Ivern, healing and mitigating 885 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Poppy can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Ivern is forced to recall.

Ivern dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Poppy. This lopsided early game means Ivern can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Poppy is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Ivern. Extended games heavily favor Poppy, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Ivern must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Poppy reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Poppy survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
