Helps with last hitting on minions, helps with harassing and getting through the laning phase. It's really hard to last hit with poppy during laning phase without AD's

I would like to see a toplane guide off poppy in the near future if that is possible. Poppy is an underplayed champion but she is a great champion in lane and out off lane. I allways use her to counter gangplank. I like her alot and hope this site will make a nice toplane guide.
Hmm I disagree with maxing Q first. This is because the damage cap is not efficient until enemies reach a high enough amount of hit points. I believe that 2 levels in Q would more than suffice, because you gain no benefit from the 8% of max HP bonus past the 2nd point in Q, unless their HP is greater than 1875. The damage caps per point in Q vs. HP will be shown below:
LVL 8% CAP HP CAP
1 75 937.5
2 150 1875.0
3 225 2812.5
4 300 3750.0
5 375 4687.5
As you can see in the numbers, the bonus damage will never exceed the 8% Cap unless the target's HP is greater than the HP Cap. As long as your target has less HP than the current HP Cap, there is no reason to put an additional point into Q, because you gain no bonus damage since their HP hasn't exceeded the previous threshold yet. Additionally the damage gained from W or E by leveling matches and exceeds that of Q in early levels where enemies are very low HP, since Q only gains 20 damage per level through scaling. Furthermore there are increased gains in Armor/Movespeed on W, or better reduced cooldown and better scaling damage on E. Also this just hit me, but the AD you gain from W would scale better with Sheen than leveling Q, since Sheen procs strictly off of your AD score and not Q damage. Sheen proc is added to Q on hit--but does not multiply your base Q damage, so there is very little reason to max this skill first.
That actually makes a lot of sense, the only reason I can think to max Q would be just for the cd, but after reading this, the other 2 skills both simply outweigh Q in terms of priority. Reducing Q's cd, isn't worth it in comparison to the benefits you get from leveling the other 2 skills. Now if the %HP affected scaled up, then it might be worth it, but alas it remains a flat 8% from level 1-5.

Posted 2/18/2013 4:35:09 PMI think it's worth upgrading Philo stone into Shurelya's instead of selling it.
Otherwise I don't completely understand the point of going AP runes and AD masteries....
