While statistically Poppy is slightly stronger than Leona as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Poppy deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Leona has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Poppy is superior vision control (ranked 22nd among supports) (versus 37th for Leona), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.5 versus 2.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Poppy player to maintain constant pressure on Leona, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
