How to Play with Thresh as Poppy in LoL

Overall, Poppy sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Thresh. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Thresh helps Poppy perform not as well in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Poppy is an ally to Thresh, she observes a little increase in her total damage dealt. This change could indicate that Thresh provides protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played with Thresh on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Thresh. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Thresh.

Moreover, when Poppy plays with Thresh on the same team, she on average receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Thresh does a poor job of protecting Poppy during teamfights.

Is Poppy better when played alongside Thresh?

There is no one best companion for Poppy that will no matter what be her top teammate. However, Thresh is a relatively poor ally for Poppy. By playing on the same team as Poppy, he decreases their win rate by -1.2% to 48.5%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful bond between Poppy and Thresh that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Thresh has a greater difficulty than Poppy. That means you should be cautious when lining up Thresh comrades to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Working on the same side, Poppy players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Together, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Conversely, by grouping Poppy and Thresh together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates enough magic damage. Plan to bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Thresh ally, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
