How to beat Renata Glasc as Poppy: the early game

Renata out-lanes you early: her Q Handshake is a point-and-click root that drags, so you can't sidestep it, and E Loyal Bodyguard gives her ADC a shield and move speed that wins prolonged trades against your Q Hammer Shock pokes. Your W Steadfast Presence doesn't help much since her kit isn't dash-based, and her range keeps her safe from your E Heroic Charge engage. Farm safely, poke with P Iron Ambassador when she steps up, and don't commit to a trade while her Q is available because a root here means a lost 2v2. Her tether drags your carry out of position, so hold the stop-dash for the follow-up rather than the cast. Fight along the lane edge, charge her into terrain the moment the tether is spent, and let your ADC commit only once the pin has actually landed.
