How to Play with Lucian as Poppy in LoL

The Poppy Lucian synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Lucian, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Poppy sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lucian. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Lucian helps Poppy perform poorer in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Poppy tries to synergize with Lucian, she sees a little decrease in her complete damage dealt. This change could indicate that Lucian doesn't help cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played together with Lucian on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Lucian. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Lucian.

Moreover, when Poppy plays with Lucian on the same side, she usually takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Lucian does a decent job of protecting Poppy in teamfights.

Is Poppy better when played alongside Lucian?

There is no perfect synergy for Poppy that will no matter what be her best teammate. However, Lucian is a very typical companion for Poppy. By playing on the same side as Poppy, he drops their win rate by -1.0% to 48.7%. This signals that there is not really a strong bond between Poppy and Lucian that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Lucian has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Lucian comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing alongside, Poppy players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by aligning Poppy and Lucian together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Lucian ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
