Not a joke title, genuinely before you get like a bami's cinder how do you farm? I feel like last hitting against a lot of top laners is just not possible because you get punished for it, and It could 100% be a skissue on my part I realize that as I type. I play this game on and off now, but have recently started to binge this season both classic and draft but after these nerfs it just feels painful to play her against any top laner I don't just almost autowin into.

But I digress, any tips for farming? I feel like I'm throwing games just because I can't last hit without a bami or a sheen.

After all the nerfs, I tried switching to Cho'Gath Jungle as a test. It's crazy how much more impact I have on this champ—1.5 million mastery on Poppy doesn't even make a difference anymore. Contrary to what most players think, I don't feel like Poppy's clear speed is her biggest issue (except for the first clear).

In my opinion, the biggest problem is that Poppy lost her early-game strength due to all the nerfs, and her late-game scaling just doesn't make up for it. AD scaling has always been weak, but at this point, building AD is practically trolling. Her W is decent for full tank, but tank items always give some HP too, and it's terrible that Poppy can't utilize HP scaling at all.

They should probably add HP scaling to her Q damage or change the W CC from a grounding/root effect to a slow; otherwise, this champ is pretty much dead for now cause proplay pick potential.

Just want to see what you guys build / how you're feeling after the recent nerf
