Is Poppy better when played alongside Annie?

There is no top champion pairing for Poppy that will always be her ideal ally. However, Annie is a not very good teammate for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, she lowers their win rate by -2.3% to 47.4%. This signals that there is a harmful bond between Poppy and Annie that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Annie has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be very careful when arranging Annie teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working alongside, Poppy players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to support your allies. Combined, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Conversely, by pairing Poppy and Annie together, you probably will not be providing your team a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to pick other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Annie ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
