Is Poppy better when played alongside Tristana?

There is no perfect companion for Poppy that will always be her top teammate. However, overall, Tristana is a not very good teammate for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, she drops their win rate by -1.8% to 47.9%. This proves that there is a negative synergy between Poppy and Tristana that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.

Tristana has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means Poppy players don't need to be careful when finding Tristana teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to do well with you.

When playing alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. When paired, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Poppy and Tristana together, you will not be providing your side enough magic damage. Plan to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.
