Invisible Woman Counters Bot Matches in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem

The newly 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 recent Season 1 update, introducing Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, has only intensified this debate.

Reddit user barky1616's video showcases an unusual tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Sue Storm becoming invisible and inexplicably blocking the progress of half the enemy team simply by standing in their path. The AI opponents seemingly fail to recognize the obstruction, only attempting to circumvent her after she exits invisibility. This bizarre behavior is being cited as further evidence of a growing bot issue.

The effectiveness of this strategy against human players remains untested, but the video has sparked considerable discussion within the Marvel Rivals community, ranging from perplexed amusement to serious concerns about the prevalence of bots.

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

Despite the bot controversy, Season 1's content release continues to be well-received. The arrival of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman (the first half of the Fantastic Four) has been met with enthusiasm, with the second half, The Thing and Human Torch, eagerly anticipated. Alongside the new characters, players are also discussing the recent balance changes, NetEase's actions against modding, and the less-than-serious reception of Reed Richards.
