You beat Poppy from level 1. She's a melee, short-range engage support whose whole kit needs to reach a wall, and your Q wind-wall plus W slow keep her out of Heroic Charge range while you poke freely. Hold your spacing away from lane walls, deny her the E angle, and your ADC farms uncontested; a whiffed Charge leaves her exposed to your slow.
