Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unintentionally revealing what many players suspect: an influx of bot opponents. For weeks, players have debated the presence of AI opponents in their matches, believing developer NetEase Games might be using them to maintain player engagement. The recent Season 1 update, introducing Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, has only fueled this discussion.
A Reddit user, barky1616, posted a video showcasing an unexpected tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the path of several enemy players simply by standing in their way. These opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again. This unusual behavior is interpreted by many as further evidence of AI opponents.

The theory is that the AI-controlled enemies fail to recognize the obstruction. While replicating this tactic may yield varying results, the video has sparked significant debate within the Marvel Rivals community, raising concerns about the prevalence of bots.
NetEase has yet to officially comment on the alleged bot issue. IGN has contacted NetEase for clarification.

Despite the bot controversy, players are generally enjoying the Season 1 content drop. While Season 1 initially introduced half of the Fantastic Four, The Thing and Human Torch are expected to arrive soon. Alongside the new characters, players are also discussing the recent balance changes, NetEase's anti-mod measures, and the less-than-serious reception of Reed Richards.
