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 unintentionally highlighting a growing concern among players: the suspected presence of bots in matches. For weeks, players have speculated that developer NetEase Games is deploying low-level AI opponents to maintain player engagement. The introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman in Season 1 has only intensified this debate.

A Reddit user, barky1616, shared a video showcasing an unexpected application of Invisible Woman's invisibility ability. The video depicts Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the progress of several enemy team members simply by standing in their path. These opponents make no attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again, at which point the engagement resumes normally.

This unusual behavior has fueled speculation that the opposing team consisted of bots incapable of recognizing the obstruction. While replicating this strategy may yield inconsistent results, the video has sparked significant discussion within the Marvel Rivals community, ranging from bewildered amusement to serious concerns about bot infestation.

NetEase has yet to officially address these allegations. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment regarding the purported presence of bots in Marvel Rivals matches.

Despite the ongoing bot controversy, players are generally enjoying Season 1's content update. While Season 1 initially introduced half of the Fantastic Four as playable characters (Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman), the remaining members, The Thing and Human Torch, are expected soon. In the meantime, players can explore the recent balance changes, the developer's response to modding, and the ongoing debate surrounding Reed Richards' portrayal in the game.
