fact is that poppy is easy to beat early game, really easy. you can push her out of lane and prevent her from getting cs. honestly, she is one of the easiest top laners to go against. after saying this, i must admit that i love to play poppy, her playstyle is super fun, smashing ppl into walls then smashing them with your hammer. she is just a pain in the ass when she ults. in that case, if she ults your support, as she should, then you need to have your support run straight at her and get her focus. yes the suport will die but the rest of your team can easily take her out after that
