Read from Milio's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
This is Milio's own plan; across 2,848 pooled games the lane is leaning Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Milio | You win level 1 as your Q knockback plus ADC auto out-trades Poppy's weak 2v2 poke. |
| Level 2 | Milio | At level 2 your two-spell burst beats her Q poke and anti-dash W with no all-in. |
| Level 3 | Milio | Level 3 stays yours since Poppy lacks a reliable 2v2 kill threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Milio | Levels 4-5 remain yours as your disengage neutralizes her lone E-to-wall setup. |
| Level 6 | Milio | Level 6 is still yours: her R is a dodgeable disengage channel your heals answer. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as her frontline timings roughly match your sustained shielding. |
| Two+ items | Milio | At 2+ items you win: global cleanse and W zone outscale her single-target utility. |
Levels 1-4 are yours: Poppy is a weak lane bully in the 2v2, and your Q-plus-ADC burst out-trades her poke-and-anti-dash kit every time she steps up. Watch for her E Heroic Charge trying to pin your carry to the tri-brush wall, but otherwise play forward and deny her CS. She is a weak two-versus-two support and your kick plus your carry's burst beats what she brings. Hold the kick for her charge rather than her poke, keep the campfire on open ground where she has no wall to work with, and shield preemptively rather than reactively.
