How does bubble autocast work

[notwardin 1]

Hello, I don't understand what happens when you put bubble's e (shell) on autocast

when does it auto cast exactly

[devoautist 2]

anytime you receive damage, it will auto cast the skill. but it will not cast if the dmg is a stun or silence skill. So, you can auto cast any auto atack, or skill that is not silence/stun (like glad 3skill, pyro 1skill etc...)

Thanks, I almost never play him and  I know you play him a lot, would you say its worth to have it on auto cast?

From what you said above it sounds bad to have it on auto cast

you can make the autocast a hotkey. So if you feel you need it, you turn it on. Sometimes it's really needed.

It rlly works man!! You first need put a hotkey on that, i put D. So i can turn on or off the auto cast. Then, you turn on when you see its a situation that you will receive a dmg that will auto cast it. Like an hero that wil auto atack you, or you are mid vs pyro ( he will harass you with 1 skill, so you will not receive dmg), or mid vs glad and he will hit creeps. But when a hammer or something with stun/silence can cast skill on you, you need turn off. Its like a situation game...

And take care... cuz if it always turned on. It will cast the skill on a situation that you dont wanna to... and it will be on CD so.. you cant cast it for 6 seconds. Exemple: you turn on... atack a midle guy, the creeps hitted you and you auto casted cover... So the other midguy can harass you for 6 sec. Another good situation to use auto cast.. you are running out with 10 hp.. and a aluna will throw the skill 2 on you, put auto cast and she will not kill you

where is that in options btw, I didn't play bubbles in some time

[devoautist 2]

on control, put the hotley you want on "active skill 3 secondary" something like this haha

[notwardin 1]

Nice thanks I still think he's weak but this will help for sure when playing against him like I should probably auto hit first when possible or be-careful when to use tb ulti etc

[devoautist 2]

problem with bubbles is that he needs a good team with him or snowball fast =/.

[SupaPowaXXL 36]

its pretty nice to put it on auto vs tb ult and long snipes like pharaoh and aluna

[devoautist 2]

yeaah! Pyro mid can never harass you with 1 skill when on auto hahaha

Bear in mind that autocasting will only avoid the initial damage from the attack/skill. You will still have any modifiers applied to you. 

 

For example with pyro, you can autocast to avoid his phoenix wave damage, but you will still receive the debuffs from his fervor or a lightbrand. The only way to avoid it all is to manually take cover so it never initially hits you.

[devoautist 2]

It depends if you let the auto cast do the whole animation man. If you auto cast and stop the animation will do this. But if you dont cancel and let the whole animation proc, you will not receive the fervor. 

[Poseidon 8]

That's incorrect. If you let the whole animation play you won't receive the damage from the debuffs during the length of time in Take Cover, but you will still have the debuff applied to you. If you stop the animation early you will receive damage. It's semantics but again the only way to completely avoid damage/debuffs is manually avoiding the skills.
