How to Play with Poppy as Gwen in LoL

Overall, Gwen sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Poppy helps Gwen perform poorer in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.

This difference may indicate that Poppy provides protection for her to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played alongside Poppy on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Poppy.

Additionally, when Gwen plays with Poppy on the same side, she typically receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Poppy does a poor job of protecting Gwen during teamfights.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Poppy?

There is no one best ally for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. Yet, Poppy is a very typical ally for Gwen. By being on the same team as Gwen, she has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 48.1%. This shows that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Gwen and Poppy that results in them performing at the same level together than alone.

Poppy has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means you should be cautious when enlisting Poppy allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Gwen players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by aligning Gwen and Poppy together, you will not be providing your team enough magic damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that offsets this hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of your Poppy ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
