I like turtles!
This is a hero I really enjoy playing and is very strong in the current meta game due to his strong CC and AoE silence. If you want a link to his hero skills: Bubbles
Picking Phase: Bubbles is a very strong hero, that requires a good player/pilot to take advantage of his skill set. Be aware that in high level games, Bubbles could very well be a problem and if you don't think you can handle the silence and other CC Bubbles has to offer, he is a strong candidate for your ban. If you can't afford to ban Bubbles, and he does get picked, try getting heroes that don't need to cluster up with their team mates.
Early Game: Bubbles performs well in any lane, though he is scariest with level advantage and will often go mid because of this. His early game harass, due to Shell Toss, and well timed dodges, with Take Cover, can make Bubbles very hard to deal with in a lane. Play smart and don't over commit trying to kill him.
Yes, it can be this hard to kill Bubbles
Mid Game: Like many other problem heroes, Bubbles is a hero you do not want to get clustered up for because he can bring a lot of damage and CC to bear in one spot. Also, Bubbles tends to gank during the mid game and with shell toss he can cover a lot of ground. Keep wards up so you are aware of his position!
Late Game: Barrier idol is a blessing against this hero for the team, and BKB/shrunken head as a carry really does help keep you from getting locked down. Keep being aware of positioning and you can generally outplay Bubbles. If you're a carry hero be aware that popping BKB before he puts down his kelp field will lead to you being snared just like everyone else. Int heroes should stay spread out just like mid game, to allow you to minimize the impact of Bubbles silence.
As always feel free to let me know if you can think of any other problem heroes and I'll be happy to try and address them.
