Use Nunu & Willump's superior clear speed and objective control to pressure early dragon and Rift Herald spawns before Poppy can contest reliably.
Avoid isolated duels with Poppy, instead leverage (W) angles from fog and lane priority to force numbers advantage and objective starts.
Focus on cross-map tempo and repeated ganks to exploit Poppy's lower mobility and reliance on terrain for engages.
Jungle Plan
Prioritize fast full clears into early ganks using (W) from fog to surprise and chain CC with lanes that have crowd control.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only when your lanes can move first to secure vision and deny Poppy's strong terrain-based engages.
Use successful ganks to immediately start dragon or Rift Herald, exploiting (Q) plus Smite secure power before Poppy can respond with (R).
Danger windows
Avoid invading or fighting near walls early where Poppy can stun with (E) and deny dashes with (W).
Be cautious contesting objectives when (R) is available to knock you away and disrupt Smite fights.
Watch for isolated river fights or low-health clears where Poppy's dueling strength and crowd control can punish you hard.
Early game
Start with a full clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then move early to contest Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid fighting Poppy in isolated river entrances where her (E) wall stun and (W) dash denial are strongest.
Track Poppy's pathing to counter-gank lanes she pressures and capitalize on her medium invade resistance by applying lane pressure first.
Power spikes
First dragon or Rift Herald spawn: use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives quickly and force Poppy to respond under pressure.
Level 6: layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to zone and burst enemies caught in your crowd control chain.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway as it can reset fights or disengage your team; bait it before committing to objectives or skirmishes.
Win conditions
Convert repeated ganks and lane pressure into early dragon and Rift Herald control using (Q) plus Smite for secure advantage.
Use (W) to create unexpected gank angles, forcing Poppy's lanes to ward deeper and opening counter-jungle opportunities.
Deny Poppy solo fights by engaging only with numbers advantage and follow-up CC, then leverage your superior objective control to snowball leads into mid-game teamfights.
