I've played Mundo with quicksilver sash several times since that big debate... it hasn't done shit for me.  There have been exactly 3 ignites on the enemy team in every game I've played, without exception.  In every single game I've won, I never had cause to use the sash once, because I snowballed early or their timing on ignite was just bad.  In every single game I've lost, the utility of the item has been exactly as I thought.  Either they plant ignites on me successively, or they plant it when I'm low on health and that period of suppressed healing before I activate the item is enough for them to secure the kill.  Part of that is I'm just not as smooth and reflexive about using active items as with abilities, but a minor issue.  I'm still trying it.  I WANT it to work.  It still seems like very few other champions have such a horrible weakness, making Mundo an incredibly unreliable choice.

 The needs of the team outweigh the needs of the Mundo. You are not the late game carry for your team - your abilities just don't scale that well. You're more a creature of the mid-game: it is your job to help your better scaling teammates to snowball into the late game, whilst preventing the enemy from doing the same.
 In principle, if you are attracting focus from several enemies during a teamfight, and they use a lot of effort to bring you down, your team should be able to exploit this by focusing their own damage more effectively. Late game Mundo is one of the lowest priority targets during a teamfight - ideally you want to just ignore him until you've at least killed the damage dealers backing him up.

AD Poppy is the build I've had the most success with, and that AP Poppy is the one that's had the least amount of success historically, in pretty much every single category. AD has been good on SR and hybrid good on Dominion, AP nowhere.

I think one thing that's happening is people are underestimating the power of autoattacks without Q. Yeah, you can get 14 damage on Q or whatever for the price of 10 AD, but that 10 AD gets you 40 damage from normal autoattacks in the time you're dealing the 14 extra.

And Poppy's ability to run through the enemy team as an assassin shouldn't be considered completely as a strength, because it's also a crutch. Yes, it's her greatest strength but the reason she has it is because she needs it. Veigar can't rush through the enemy team because he never needs to. You're like Tryndamere - if you seriously need your ult to be doing your job, then you're probably doing it wrong.

[Sharp]

I understand your point but unlike Trynd, Poppy's ulti is not just trolling other team but dealing the extra damage on a target, so quite often you will be using that ulti just for the damage, and also like Trynd for the early tower dives + escape. Just wondering though, in your AD Poppy build do you get Trinity Force or not?

[penguinofhonor]

Yeah, Trinity Force is a must-have. On every champion.

Holy crap Scarlet Hammer Poppy is going on sale! Well, looks like I'll be testing some builds starting tomorrow.

[Sharp]

Well if your getting Trinity Force then your practically a Hybrid

I don't like Scarlet Hammer skin, the eyes creep me out..

[frostshotgg]

It's not hybrid until it's 6 Trinities, with a gunblade maybe.

I like Scarlet Poppy, but I like Battle Regalia first and I like it more.

[penguinofhonor]

Six trinities is the way to go. Carry harder than you thought possible.

[ansontan2000]

Wow I hate this fucking game....
Support Teemos, Support Jayce, motherfucking 9 player rages, entire troll teams...
Yeah, I think this warrants an uninstall.

[Errol]

The thing about League is that you will still go on and on despite all of that BS.

[KaelGotDwarves]

You can't take this game too seriously or else you're going to give yourself an aneurysm.

[Dariush]

Whenever I'm having a losing streak, all I need is to take Yi and immediatly win.

[Simmura McCrea]

Why can I never play Yi like that? ;_;

[RedKing]

Doesn't hurt that the other team looks like they were terrible, except for Ezreal. Lemme guess, Ezrael vs. your Ashe mid?

[frostshotgg]

I think that game was on your enemies. If Janna were any good, she'd have shut you down hard, and the lion's share of their team's builds are pants+head retarded.

[Repulsion]

AD/Hybrid Poppy may be better than AP Poppy, but I'm still not sure what those builds would include.
