How to win lane as Rell against Poppy · 49.22% win rate over 1,859 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Poppy | Poppy's level-1 Iron Ambassador poke and Hammer Shock zone your engage before you have any tools. |
| Level 2 | Poppy | At level 2 her Q+W package out-trades your single W-Q and her W grounds your dash. |
| Level 3 | Poppy | Level 3 her E wall-stun punishes any walk-up you make to start a fight. |
| Levels 4-5 | Poppy | Through 4-5 her sustained W-passive grounding keeps denying your only hard engage. |
| Level 6 | Poppy | At 6 Keeper's Verdict can cancel your W-Q or Magnet Storm mid-channel, wasting your ult. |
| First item | Poppy | On first item her anti-dash W and peel E still shut your all-in windows. |
| Two+ items | Poppy | Two items in she remains the better peel tank, countering Rell's dash-reliant teamfighting. |
Poppy owns levels 1-2: her Iron Ambassador passive poke and Hammer Shock zone your walk-ups, and W (Steadfast Presence) hard-counters your W-Q dash-stun — the moment you dash in she can proc the grounding aura and cancel your engage. Don't force the level-2 all-in into a Poppy who has W; ward and farm mount stacks instead.
