Yorick vs Poppy Matchup Summary

The Yorick vs Poppy 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 Yorick's 40.0%, giving Poppy a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Poppy controls the early laning stage, but Yorick outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Poppy needs to press advantages before Yorick reaches their power spikes, while Yorick should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Poppy leads by 0.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Poppy has a strong advantage in this matchup. Yorick players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Poppy 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.

991Yorick
659Poppy

Utility
0.4Yorick
1.3Poppy
Poppy brings significantly more crowd control than Yorick, with 0.8 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
1,650Yorick

Poppy dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Yorick. This lopsided early game means Poppy can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Yorick at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Poppy. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Poppy has the edge early, but Yorick gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
