How to Play Poppy in ARAM Mayhem

You are the front line, standing between your carries and their divers. Activate Steadfast Presence (W) when divers dash in, slam targets into the lane walls with Heroic Charge (E), and use Keeper's Verdict (R) uncharged to knock up a threat or charged to send a carry out of the fight. Heartsteel, Warmog's Armor and Goliath stack health so you can hold that line through long fights.
