How to Play with Talon as Poppy in LoL

Overall, Poppy sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Talon. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Talon helps Poppy perform not as well in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Poppy plays on the same team as Talon, she observes a small increase in her complete damage dealt. This difference may indicate that Talon supports by providing protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played alongside Talon on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Talon. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Talon.

Additionally, when Poppy plays with Talon on the same side, she often takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Talon does a poor job of covering Poppy in team fights.
