Farming
5.9Poppy

Damage
836Poppy
978Yorick
Yorick heavily out-damages Poppy by 142 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Poppy should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Yorick's sustained damage advantage take over.

Yorick generates a commanding 1,061 more gold per game than Poppy. This substantial economic advantage means Yorick consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.4Poppy
0.4Yorick
Poppy brings significantly more crowd control than Yorick, with 1.0 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Poppy far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
2,753Poppy
1,473Yorick
Poppy vastly out-sustains Yorick, healing and mitigating 1,280 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Poppy can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Yorick is forced to recall.
