poppy is all about match ups, darius beats her because of his ultimate can eat through your passive.... but normally poppy can win vs any bruiser in the game b/c of her passive.

she has trouble vs ranged champs during lane phase too

Poppy can handle anyone who doesn't have range + kiting mechanics, or true damage.

She was my favorite to go against jayce back when he was stupidly strong because her passive took huge chunks out of his burst and I could tank through his harass. Once I hit 6 he couldn't afford to play recklessly because a single stun charge and he'd die.

What do you do when faced with two choices? Simply toss a coin. It works because in that brief time that the coin is in the air you know what you're hoping for.

Skill build is right.

Ideally, you want two rune pages. One AD reds + rest armor. The other AD reds, AR yellows, MR blues, HP5 Quints. Otherwise a basic ADC page works if you're page cramped.
I would go

flask + 5+2
Philo
boots + sheen
Godfist
QSS/reverie
reverie/Qss
Situational
mercurial scimitar.

Situational item can be any of the following
Gunblade -> Seriously improves damage and sustain, good if you have strong initiation.
DFG -> If enemy team has a priority target that needs to die very badly. If you DFG + Ult something, it'll die.
LW or Void -> if there's serious armor or MR stacking going on, these shouldn't be used often, and priority should go to void.
Randuins -> if enemy ADC is vayne or you just feel the need to generally be tankier.

You could also play around with getting a kages after sheen and turning it into a shard or twin shadows. Both seem to have mild potential on poppy, not sure if their worth it though.
