The Thresh versus Poppy matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Thresh deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Poppy deals mainly physical damage (77.53%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Poppy, ranking 9th (versus 14th for Thresh) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Thresh player to maintain constant pressure on Poppy, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
