How to Use Poppy Counter Data
Every matchup shown here, both the champions that beat Poppy and the ones she beats, comes from live ranked Support data. At the moment Singed, Warwick, and Yorick are the toughest lanes for Poppy, since her win rate falls furthest below her average against them. Singed is the strongest counter of the group: Poppy has won only 38.7% of 155 recorded games against him. On the other side, Mel, Shen, and Yasuo are the matchups where Poppy holds the edge and where you can press that advantage in champion select.
Each card lists Poppy’s win rate and the number of games behind it. A figure drawn from tens of thousands of games is much more reliable than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags come straight from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy, and everything in between is Even. They’re meant to help you read the numbers quickly, not to act as a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, on patch 16.13.1, and it updates every 48 hours, so the rankings shift as the meta does. A counter pick is only part of the decision, so pair this with the current Poppy build for the best items and runes, or head to the Poppy champion page for her abilities and complete details.
