Playing as Poppy

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Pin your target against a wall

    Position so that Heroic Charge (E) slams your target into a wall: they're then stunned and take bonus damage.

  2. Keep them in your zone

    Keep your target in the Hammer Shock (Q) zone: the zone slows them, then explodes and deals the same damage a second time.

  3. Pick up your buckler

    After a trade, pick up the Iron Ambassador (passive) buckler that bounced off your target: it gives you a temporary shield.

  4. Stop their dashes

    Cast Steadfast Presence (W) when an enemy is about to dash onto you or your carry: the field stops dashes around you, and the stopped enemy is slowed and grounded.

  5. Send a diver far away

    Charge Keeper's Verdict (R) to send away a diver or isolate their carry: the target is knocked back toward their Nexus, farther the longer you charge.

Playing against Renekton

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when he's under 50 Fury

    Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.

  2. Trade after his dashes

    Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. Back off when he casts Dominus

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
