Stable ratings are a good sign for one-tricks: the play patterns you practice now should keep working next patch. At C tier, Poppy is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

The hardest matchups this patch are Viego (43.7% win rate for Poppy) and JarvanIV (46.1% win rate for Poppy): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in.
