Zilean vs Poppy Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
This page breaks down the Zilean vs Poppy matchup in League of Legends in the Support role, using current ranked statistics. Across 260 recorded games on patch 16.13.1, Zilean wins 46.2% of the time against Poppy. That places Poppy among Zilean’s toughest opponents right now — the win rate sits clearly below the break-even line, which is exactly why this matchup is flagged as a counter.
Win rate and sample size are the two numbers to trust here: the more games behind a matchup, the more stable its rating from patch to patch. The stats refresh automatically every 48 hours from ranked games at Emerald and above, so this page always reflects the current meta rather than an old snapshot.
