Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem

The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unintentionally revealing a suspected problem: an influx of bot opponents in player lobbies. For weeks, players have voiced concerns about facing low-level AI opponents, a theory fueled by developer NetEase Games' perceived attempts to maintain player engagement. The recent Season 1 introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman has only intensified this debate.

Reddit user barky1616's video showcases an unexpected application of Invisible Woman's invisibility ability. The video depicts Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the progress of half the opposing team simply by standing in their path. Remarkably, these opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until she exits invisibility, at which point the match resumes normally.

This unusual behavior has led many to interpret the video as further evidence of a growing bot issue in Marvel Rivals. While the effectiveness of this tactic may vary, the video's strangeness has sparked considerable discussion and concern within the community.

NetEase Games has yet to officially comment on the alleged presence of bots in Marvel Rivals. IGN has contacted NetEase for clarification.

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 duo, The Thing and Human Torch, are expected soon. Alongside the new characters, players can explore recent balance changes and the community's reaction to NetEase's actions against mods, as well as the ongoing humorous debate surrounding Reed Richards' in-game portrayal.
