How to beat Yuumi as Poppy: the early game

You dominate levels 1-2: Yuumi is a pure enchanter with no engage or CC, so your E Heroic Charge threatens to wall-pin her ADC every time they step up to farm. Zone aggressively, Q the wave to pressure, and punish any greedy walk-up — she can only heal, not stop you. She cannot be touched while attached and cannot stop a charge on her carry, so aim everything at their ADC. Fight near the side wall so the pin has terrain, keep the stop-dash for his own escape, and let your carry follow the stun immediately.
