Learn how to Poppy counter with these essential tips.

All
Position yourself away from walls when facing Poppy — her E stun requires pushing you into terrain and this is her primary engage tool.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
Hold a CC ability to interrupt Poppy's R channel — stopping her ultimate prevents her from knocking away your teammates during crucial objective fights.
Team Fight Late Game
Look for engages when Poppy's W is on cooldown — without Steadfast Presence, she can't block dash abilities and loses significant defensive stats for 12-20 seconds.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Avoid fighting in jungle corridors or narrow spaces against Poppy — these areas make her E stun easier to land and increase her ultimate's team-splitting effectiveness.
Team Fight Late Game
Step on Poppy's buckler when it falls to deny her shield — this prevents her from gaining a 13-18% max health shield, but don't overextend just to destroy it.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Poppy can use her charged R to knock your jungler away during objective fights, potentially allowing her team to secure Baron or Dragon uncontested.
Late Game Team Fight
Poppy's W passive doubles her armor and magic resistance when below 40% health, making her surprisingly durable when low.
Advanced Skirmish Team Fight
Step away quickly after Poppy hits you with Q — the ability deals damage twice (initial hit and delayed explosion), with each hit dealing 9% of your max health as bonus damage.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Before committing to all-ins against Poppy after level 6, bait out her R — even a briefly charged ultimate can disrupt your engage by knocking you or your teammates away.
