Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a potential problem: players suspect an increase in bot opponents within their matches. This suspicion has been brewing for weeks, with many believing developer NetEase Games is employing low-level AI to maintain player engagement. The arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman in Season 1 has only intensified this discussion.
A Reddit user, barky1616, shared a video demonstrating an unusual tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Invisible Woman blocking the path of enemy players simply by standing invisibly in their way. The AI opponents seemingly fail to recognize the obstruction, only attempting to circumvent her after she becomes visible. This bizarre occurrence is fueling the ongoing debate about the prevalence of bots in Marvel Rivals.

The implication is that these unresponsive opponents are bots, unable to navigate around an invisible obstacle. While this tactic's effectiveness may vary, the video has sparked significant discussion, ranging from puzzled confusion to concerns about a growing bot problem.
NetEase has yet to officially comment on the alleged bot issue. IGN has contacted NetEase for clarification.
Marvel Rivals Tier List: Best Heroes
Despite the bot controversy, Season 1's content update, including the initial Fantastic Four additions (Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman), is generally well-received. The remaining Fantastic Four members, The Thing and Human Torch, are anticipated soon. Alongside the new heroes, recent balance changes and the developer's actions against mods have also been topics of conversation among the player base. The reception of Reed Richards, another newly added character, has also been a subject of discussion.
