The only thing I hate about bubbles is how weak his projectile seems to be. It's a flimsy blue star, not to mention the ridiculous sound that accompanies it.
Top tier in general are heroes who can initiate team fights well, or roam and initiate ganks well (stun, disable, aoe, etc). I just don't like bubbles because of his projectile

Any hero that generally only plays mid is a risky first pick.
My personal favorite is witch slayer: 2 solid disables, 1 skill to keep you at lane, and an ultimate to make your roaming easy
Pretty much all you need early to mid game are striders, wards and a tp
