Overall, Poppy sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Gwen. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This change may indicate that Gwen does not provide protection for her to deal more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played alongside Gwen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Gwen. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Gwen.
Additionally, when Poppy plays with Gwen on the same team, she often takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Gwen does a decent job of protecting Poppy during teamfights.

Working together, Poppy players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by grouping Poppy and Gwen together, you will not be providing your other allies enough magic damage. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their abilities.
