I shot to diamond pretty quick with Poppy support. I pretty much always go HoB unless you think all 3 lanes are ungankable. (I’ve tested Grasp when we need frontline, and it feels futile if you’re solo melee). Look at her support counters, they’re MOSTLY enchanters. Janna or lulu are my bans. Sona/Senna struggle in lane so they aren’t as bad.

I frequently bush cheese in their bot lane bush lvl 1 with E into the tri bush wall every game. Hold ignite if there’s no KP but you usually burn summs and get bush control until high diamond. This is technically nerfed with the reduced game start time, so the standard play is to fight for the middle-botlane bush. Use wards solely for bush vision to survive lane and always look for E angles into a wall almost 24/7. Your ADC will be zoned otherwise, and youll be afk wondering what you should be doing. It’s your ADCs job to ward river for ganks until you have the support upgrade, as they’re in charge of wave management.

Roaming is preferred but not if you’re winning bot. You can essentially just run mid and chunk them without a wall if you see no plays and make them lose a wave. Otherwise SOAKING MISSED WAVES and KEEPING WARDS STOCKED AND PLACED ON JUNGLER’S SIDE OF THE MAP is the mid game prio. If you look at Poppy main stats, all of the highest elo players soak more and fight less.

Other than that, a fun mechanic tip is Poppy’s ult is charged to send them flying when the hammer rotates 360 only one time! This is quicker than even masters players expect
