Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The recently released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly 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 the belief that developer NetEase Games is using bots to maintain player engagement. The introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman in Season 1 has only intensified this debate.
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 several enemy players simply by standing in front of them. These opponents make no attempt to circumvent her until her invisibility wears off. This bizarre behavior is interpreted by many as further evidence of a growing bot issue in Marvel Rivals.

The theory suggests that AI opponents lack the awareness to recognize the obstruction caused by the Invisible Woman. While replicating this tactic may yield varying results, the video itself has sparked significant discussion, ranging from puzzled confusion to serious concerns about the prevalence of bots.
NetEase Games has yet to officially comment on the alleged bot problem. IGN has contacted NetEase for clarification.

Despite these concerns, Season 1's content update, which included half of the Fantastic Four as playable characters (with The Thing and Human Torch to follow), is generally well-received. Alongside the new heroes, significant balance changes were implemented. The community's reaction to NetEase's anti-mod measures and the humorous reception of Reed Richards are also noteworthy developments.
