i was doing the pro build of philostone merc treads philostone sheen (i had gotten a lot of gold that life so i figured i could skip the rest of the philostones) deathfire's finish lich bane void staff then warmog's.
every devastating blow was 20%-30% of a person's health depending on if they had MR or not. and with golem i was using devastating blow every like, 1.5 seconds or some bullshit
good games as poppy are probably the most fun thing in the world
edit: i actually forgot i had deathfire's in there woops

The best part is the ult + deathfire combo.
"Oh I'm sorry, did I just take out half of your health because I think I did and now I'M thwacking you with my hammer and now you're dead."
and the other four to my inability to remember karthus' passive
oh, i am such a pro
also, ap kassadin did 285k damage that round
I'm seeing a lot more Kassadins and Karthuses running around (especially taking mid, which is music to Mid Pantheon's ears). Anyone also seeing a rising AP Caster trend?

There has always been a ton of Kassadins running around because he's one of the best champs.
There has been more Karthuses around than usual, though. Did he get some buffs, maybe?
He did get a couple of minor ones. ~4s faster cooldown on the slow wall, which was nice because it's still a pretty long cooldown, and a mana cost reduction or two.
Does Diplomatic Immunity stack with Hemoplaque? Because that sounds absolutely hilarious.

What a weird set of games. Stomped in a ranked game due to mid feeding (I blame comp mismatch, to be honest), then stomped them back the next game due to complete braindeaded-ness on the parts of our opponents.
i think i could do it with vlad's ult + poppy's ult + 1000 AP and if they had no magic resistance
sounds reasonable

i realized tonight that at mid-levels, the opposite of what you guys bitch about tends to define the games.
like, you guys are generally complaining that some terrible player is feeding some enemy player and that fucks up your game
in all the games i draw in the mid-late teens, the games are almost always decided by some L30 who somehow ended up in the queue and basically just runs roughshod all over our entire team.
it's really frustrating.

E for easier harass and wave clearing rather than Q. I don't believe in leveling the shield much since IMO it's pretty lackluster unless you are in a huge AoE clusterfuck as opposed to one guy just getting focused.
You must land your skillshots for the love of god. If you can't land them do not play her.
Wards everywhere, snipe the fuck out of things over trees. At level 16, use your ult constantly. If it is up and there are enemies nearby, you are doing it wrong unless you are specifically waiting to snipe something.
Basically think of her like Morgana but with a slightly better attack range traded off for the fact that you unfortunately need to attack more with her to get the most out of her passive.

Ooooo awesome, thanks for all the info. Huge help.
I don't consider her a particularly spectacular solo laner, by the way. She has a bit of a slow ramp and has mana issues depending on how spammy you are (at least the Lux I play with alot seems to, I don't recall offhand how bad my mana problems are on her), so if she needs to use skills alot to pushback waves on top of harassing, she might be forced back early. (Compare against Morg whose innate spell vamp and ability to null CC makes her stronger by herself)
I find her much more useful in the double with someone who can either take advantage of her root to kill someone (like a Yi or a Pantheon) or someone who can extend it and lengthen the hurt but who might otherwise have a harder time landing theirs (Swain, Morg, Cho, etc).
If you are particularly good with her and/or your tanks are up to par you might consider doing Tear->Archangel's instead of the Rod build, but I find her needing to be in the thick of things too much and also too vulnerable to dashing assassins for that to work well.
My team was up 40 kills to 20 and promptly lost every team fight after:
MF went to backdoor every time she respawned.
Our twitch w/ 25 kills initiated.
Rammus ran from every fight.
Lux and Ryze lit us up and not a neg cloak in sight.

Eh, I figure I'm bad enough that I should be the one put in with the good players. But no, there's always worse. I'm pretty sure I had Alastair bot on my team tonight too.

Ya know, it's like, people constantly say "Don't solo queue, join vent"
and people CONSTANTLY make solo-queue-induced rage posts.
And then they solo queue again.
It's quite similar to this time I stubbed my toe, except, that, I didn't repeatedly bitch about stubbing my toe while I continued kicking the wall or something.

one of them to ashe
one of them to karthus' passive

i'll cast more when next month resets my download/upload cap heh
also figure out how to make it not give me 400 ping
dammit change your sig then
WHEN YOU JUST DO 30% OF EVERYONE YOU HIT'S HEALTH
ITS JUST
FUCK YES
ALSO, I THINK I JUST GOT MY FIRST LASERDIVE KILL (I HAVE A BAD MEMORY)
the stupid shit was at ~20% perpetually and survived through my guardian's
shameful
every devastating blow was 20%-30% of a person's health depending on if they had MR or not. and with golem i was using devastating blow every like, 1.5 seconds or some bullshit

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I've been finding that I build straight AD on very few champs these days.
TF? AP/Hybrid
Kog'Maw? AP/Hybrid
Teemo? AP/Hybrid
Jax? Hybrid
The new Malady might have something to do with it.
There has been more Karthuses around than usual, though. Did he get some buffs, maybe?
He did get a couple of minor ones. ~4s faster cooldown on the slow wall, which was nice because it's still a pretty long cooldown, and a mana cost reduction or two.
and my friends and i let one get 20 stacks earlier
worst part was they had a zilean
it did not make for good times, in the slightest, despite having warwick's ultimate
suppression should make support spells fizzle!!!! like a beneficial-effect black shield

Oh well.
Better ult a tank just so you don't waste too much of that total overkill damage...
I WISH TO DEATHFIRE GRASP SOMEONE IN ONE HIT (which cannot happen)
but man do i plan on playing poppy more
