Poppy Keeper of the Hammer

Runeterra has no shortage of valiant champions, but few are as tenacious as Poppy. Bearing the legendary hammer of Orlon, a weapon twice her size, this determined yordle has spent untold years searching in secret for the fabled “Hero of Demacia,” said to be its rightful wielder. Until then, she dutifully charges into battle, pushing back the kingdom's enemies with every whirling strike.

MetaBot Tips

  • Poppy is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
  • Poppy has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
  • Poppy has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
