Poppy vs Rell Matchup Summary

The Poppy vs Rell matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Rell wins with a 62.1% win rate compared to Poppy's 37.9%, giving Rell a 24.1 percentage point advantage. Rell 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. The most significant statistical gap is in damage output, where Poppy leads by 156 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Rell has a strong advantage in this matchup. Poppy players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Rell overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
