Is Poppy better when played alongside Ahri?

There is no ideal ally for Poppy that will always be her top teammate. However, overall, Ahri is a below average ally for Poppy. By being on the same side as Poppy, she decreases their win rate by -1.8% to 47.9%. This shows that there is a negative synergy between Poppy and Ahri that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Ahri has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Ahri allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting alongside, Poppy players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. When paired, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Conversely, by grouping Poppy and Ahri together, you will not be giving your side very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Ahri ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
