Marvel Rivals Fans Are Using the Invisible Woman to Detect Alleged Bot Matches

Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem

The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a suspected problem with AI-controlled opponents ("bots") in player lobbies. For weeks, players have debated the presence of bots, speculating that developer NetEase Games might be using them to maintain player engagement. The Season 1 introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman last Friday fueled this discussion, but the new heroes have revealed more than just meta shifts.

Reddit user barky1616 posted a video showcasing an unusual tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the path of enemy team members simply by standing in front of them. The bots, seemingly unaware of the obstruction, don't attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again. This peculiar behavior is being cited as further evidence of a growing bot issue.

The theory is that the AI opponents are unable to recognize the blockage caused by the invisible hero. While replicating this tactic may yield varied results, the video's strangeness has sparked considerable debate, ranging from confusion to serious concerns about bot prevalence.

NetEase has yet to confirm the existence of AI opponents in Marvel Rivals matches. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment.
