Poppy vs Warwick Matchup Summary

The Poppy vs Warwick matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 21 recent matches analyzed, Warwick wins with a 61.9% win rate compared to Poppy's 38.1%, giving Warwick a 23.8 percentage point advantage. Warwick 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 crowd control, where Poppy leads by 0.3s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Warwick 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 Warwick 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.
