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 potential problem: bots. For weeks, players have suspected developer NetEase Games of introducing low-level AI opponents to maintain player engagement. The arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman in Season 1 has intensified this debate.

A Reddit user, barky1616, posted a video showcasing an unusual tactic. By turning invisible, Invisible Woman inexplicably blocked the progress of half the opposing team, who seemingly failed to recognize the obstruction until she became visible again. This bizarre occurrence is fueling speculation about the increasing prevalence of bots in matches.

The theory is that these AI opponents lack the awareness to navigate around Invisible Woman's invisible form. While replicating this strategy may yield varied results, the video has sparked considerable discussion within the Marvel Rivals community, raising concerns about the extent of bot usage.

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

Despite the bot controversy, Season 1's content update, including the Fantastic Four characters (with The Thing and Human Torch yet to be released), is generally well-received. Players are actively engaging with the new content, and discussions surrounding balance changes, the NetEase mod crackdown, and the reception of Mister Fantastic are ongoing.
