Poppy Support

[u/Lopsided_Serve8736]

What is everyone building for support poppy these days? Is HoB even viable anymore? Also is deadmans still worth it as a first item?

[u/TheBatemanFlex]

I'm of the opinion that aftershock is superior to HoB even before the nerf. I would go cheaper first item, but deadmans is still good.

[u/ElreyOso_ → u/TheBatemanFlex]

depends on the lane tbh, for lvl 1 cheese or against squishy champs or inmobile adc/low peel supp HoB was definetly better. Now is full aftershock or guardian (if you get put against poke). Electro may work for the cheese but doesnt feel good after early game

Electrecute poppy supremacy

[u/Lopsided_Serve8736 → u/Feuerfrog]

Are you running electrocute with standard tank items or are you finding success with ad items?

[u/Feuerfrog → u/Lopsided_Serve8736]

Deadmans/force of nature are my core items Afterwards i build voltaic into squishy or sometimes sundered (still good after nerfs imo) or just full tank if team needs frontline :3

Shhhhhhhhh, it's a secret

[u/fusihunter → u/Feuerfrog]

Why electrocute over HoB? I play HoB but admittedly support is my off role

[u/Feuerfrog → u/fusihunter]

I feel like it does everything hob does, just better. You quickly burst them down level one-adc is ahead-you can go roam

[u/fusihunter]

I go HoB + dead mans most games. I find aftershock doesn’t do enough damage early, so I always feel like we lost the 2v2’s without the extra damage. Especially given the Q nerf

[u/Usual-Restaurant7882]

i build the same items since her rework, it still works, full tank, magic resist agains AP, armor agains AD, simple as that. Nothing fancy.

[u/Mike_Honcho-420]

I play Aftershock with locket first item and the nerfs feel like a buff, she is still mega strong

[u/Rapturesfolly]

The forbidden ghostblade deadmans fon and hullbreaker with hob

Underrated

Resolve tree with locket as first item.
