Poppy owns levels 1-2: her Q Hammer Shock and E Heroic Charge give her a reliable point-and-click all-in that beats your slow W charge, and her passive shield-tossing lets her trade shove-and-poke without fear. Don't try to contest her at level 2 — she gets Heroic Charge online and can pin your ADC to terrain. Ward the lane bush so her E-into-wall setup can't be walked into, and keep your ADC off the side walls.
