Invisible Woman Used to Spot Alleged Bot Matches in Marvel Rivals

The new character addition to Marvel Rivals, the Invisible Woman, is stirring up the community with her utility in identifying what many fans suspect are bot enemies within their game lobbies. The issue of bots has been a hot topic among Marvel Rivals players for several weeks, with suspicions that developer NetEase Games might be using low-level AI opponents to maintain player engagement. These discussions intensified with the launch of Season 1, which introduced Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman last Friday, bringing more than just a shakeup to the game's meta.

As players delved into the mechanics of these new Fantastic Four members, Reddit user barky1616 posted a video showcasing an unconventional use of Invisible Woman’s signature ability. The video demonstrates Sue Storm turning invisible and effectively blocking the path of half the enemy team by merely standing in front of them. The enemy team remains stationary, not attempting to move around or engage her, until her invisibility wears off, and combat resumes normally. This peculiar footage has fueled further speculation that bots may indeed be a growing concern within Marvel Rivals.

The prevailing theory is that, if the opposing team consists of bots, they lack the ability to navigate around the invisible barrier created by Sue Storm. Although results may differ if players attempt this tactic themselves, the video has left the community puzzled and increasingly concerned about the potential bot issue.

Without an official statement from NetEase, it remains uncertain whether AI enemies are indeed infiltrating Marvel Rivals matches or if another phenomenon is at play. IGN has reached out to NetEase for clarification on the alleged presence of bots in the game.
