[@fading9514]

Honestly I don’t see this guy being talked about much in the western community, but he is quite popular in the eastern scene. He is an absolute beast on poppy and always play super aggressive in lane. To me the most memorable thing that he does consistently is ulting the enemy top laner out of tower and diving them in between tier 1 and tier 2.

[@solartea_]

thats genius actually

[@daemok4752]

Poppy is often overlooked because she can barely CS or do anything into ranged champ during laning phase but Poppy is one of the few champions in the game that can turn a 5v5 into a 5v2 or 5v3 instantly, her W also helps with the dashing meta, she builds full tank so she's hard to kill and will just sit on top of the playmakers but her usefulness really depends on how much farm she can get during laning phase.

[@TheChrismasCow]

She also had really good damage early game.

[@daemok4752]

@@TheChrismasCow but it doesn't scale well at all and it's melee so Ryze, Syndra, Annie, Xerath, Malz, etc. will eat her alive in mid lane. Meaning that guy is very likely to dodge queues against ranged caster mid laners to have that 60% win rate.

[@TheChrismasCow]

@@daemok4752 oh you think that’s what he’s doing. I guess that makes sense

[@peterpeterson3385]

@@daemok4752 Xerath would not be that hard if you just know how to dodge and high elo players do know. Xerath poke won't be enough to have any impact unless you hit your spells constantly. Poppy would likely take TP or play aggressive and pick ignite. Xerath cannot even follow roams. No wonder why Xerath mid has under 1% pick rate in high elo.

the matches are early game oriented. it’s sort of been like that for years. health is the most op stat for early game. 150 health ruby is an entire combo from a champion rather than 10 extra AD from a long sword. health is the best stat which is why i build it during landing phase.

[@BALLER24HOLLAR]

True, such a pesky champ to deal with. Those players somehow find ways to be effective, because you cannot single out all the focus on Yasuo, but you can't ignore his potential to be a menace if underestimated and given free resources.

Bro this dude has been challenger for a looong time and goes for rank 1 pushes early on in the season. This isn't his first rank one. He is a top lane main who moved to mid lane because of the top lane champion pool. He's been the #1 Poppy in the world for years. He plays Poppy, Warwick top (the only in Korean challenger until recently) and Ekko. He runs a KZbin named 세체뽀 (abbreviation for 'World's Best Poppy'). A great resource for Poppy players, as he is the only Poppy player I've seen that consistently outlanes Darius.

[@yuumijungle548]

i have noticed this myself weeks ago, not gonna lie made me kinda curious. (to any neace supporters, the rank 1 player is a jungle main and plays nidalee, maokai and kindred, but according to neace those champions dont work for climbing, especially not in korea 🤔🤔🤔🤔)

[@TheBanana202]

I saw this on another channel. When the enemy team locked in champs like Jayce and Qiyana, I knew it was time.

honestly i feel like midbeast says every pick is freelo when its clearly not or else way more people would be playing it and succeeding . This kinda feels like insulting for the poppy otp.

[@alexandersalazar4736]

I play mid Poppy and I go Lethality or Crit. But I usually just play her top and fight Darius, Sett, Morde and even Aatrox and Camille. These champions destroys Poppy but I've played against them so much that I can fight these champions with relative ease now.

[@anthonysmith1228]

4:38 "Full proof strategy if you can pull it off" 🤣

[@3Dgaymer]

I main Poppy and I've played her in every role, and let me advice you not to try this, Poppy is weak in every possible matchup because even in the ones you "win" lane you need to have too much impact on the map for this pick to be worth it as it gets outscaled by any and all champions you pair her against. Many people think that because she has her W she counters champs like Sylas, Fizz, Talon, Leblanc... It's really not true except for maybe Sylas the rest of them either end up beating you in lane or have much more value out of lane than you do and if what you want to do is roam and have impact on the map there are many champions that do it better in the midlane. Poppy's best role is the jungle because she has better matchups (maybe not so much in this jungle meta) and has the ability to impact the map more efficiently without sacking resources. Congrats to the guy tho I'm happy to see a Poppy player rank 1 :D

[@williamsmith6364]

Ive also played poppy in every role other than adc I would say mid is her better role jungle meta is so terrible for her. Your not playing a tank mid to scale. Your playing to roam bot and point and click oneshot anyone who stands near the wall. She has great wave clear so she can shove the enemy midlaner. She does lots of bonus damage to objectives and can win skirmishes with her R. If ur toplane you can't contribute to drag. Dives are so easy to set up. Plus her scaling isnt bad. Its bad for a tank but she can still set up a cc chain and peel. And she outscales assasins unless they find a way to get fed.

[@3Dgaymer]

@@williamsmith6364 to do what you are saying champions like qiyana or talon, to name a couple, are way better, qiyana has "worse" wave clear but better roams and more dmg and talon has better wave clear and damage. Jungle is still way better because even if she loses to maokai and is not good against elise she still beats wukong, vi, sej... and she can use hexflash to do much more and even without taking into account the jg matchup her W is really good to set up dives against champs like camille, gwen, renekton... which you can do more often as a jungler than as a mid laner as you cant really take water walking or hexflash when you are playing mid because then you will Q twice and run out of mana. Mid poppy has less than 5 good match ups and what she does, shes not even the best at so mid is obviously not her best role. If it was you would see her often in mid and overall, not just this guy, poppy's mid winrate-pickrate ratio is stupidly bad because there are many ways for the enemy to counter the pick, if you pick it as a counter pick the enemy can just play crossmap and match your plays or if they can get the push because you blind picked or picked it when you shouldnt have to, you will just be useless. A role where you can only pick the champion 1 in every 20 games maybe less (unless you want to play like a second support and not farm, in that case pick her every game I guess, although then you will curve into your first 2 items even slower and be even more useless past the laning phase) is definitely not the best.

[@mxcrftaa5508]

I also main Poppy. Although I primarily play jungle I think Toppy is stronger at present because the current jungle matchups are terrible. With Toppy you can lane bully everything (commonly picked) thats not darius and then have more impact in teamfights later. I am not convinced by Poppy mid. It don’t think its necessarily useless but I would never want to play against Viktor/Azir. That said its the only role I haven’t played Poppy in but I might give it a try.

[@3Dgaymer]

@@mxcrftaa5508 Toppy is fine the problem is Poppy as a champion does not really want to be in an isolated 1v1 but rather teamfight and peel for her carries and top doesnt have it as easy to impact the map or appear in as many fights. Toppy laning is way better than Moppy and the match ups in general are better too thats for sure. I main jungle but it’s fun to play her in other roles like mid, not as optimal but fun still

[@williamsmith6364]

@@3Dgaymer yea but you dont have to worry about laning because you can tank all the poke and shove in waves. Just run bot or toplane. Flash e and pin them to the wall if one person follows up you get a kill. Its so different then poppy top which is an early game lane bully that becomes a utility champ. Plus scaling usually doesnt matter in the midlane anymore. Just because adcs can hard outscale any mage now. Just run botlane get your adc fed come mid and push. Its like an ad alternative to singed mid which is my favourite midlaner. I have been playing poppy mid into lots of matchups mostly melee some ranged like ahri and leblanc. Its so easy to also contest objectives because poppy is a good skirmisher and her R is really useful so late game you will have more drags up and tons of gold from rift. Also poppy doesnt have any core items she can build what ever she wants doesnt need a bami doesnt need a sunderer because you dont need monster damage. You can just rush a FON into a mage and never die until they have 3 items.

[@InHuman0007]

@Midbeast please make analyze another VOD, but vs harder matchup. I believe I am not the onlyone being curious how he deals with ranged matchups. Honestly he would've destroyed that fizz so much harder early the 2 bot kills kind of saved fizz's early game.

Yes, he did miss some. But if you play against Fizz you harassing him early matters more than a few CS. Also, Fizz should always sacrifice some CS and just try to stay close to exp range. Having good CS is all about your matchup and champion you play. Fizz didn't have good CS either.
