Invisible Woman Used to Spot Alleged Bot Matches in Marvel Rivals

The new character, Invisible Woman, from Marvel Rivals, has sparked significant interest among players, particularly for her role in potentially detecting what fans suspect are bot enemies in their game lobbies. The issue of bots in Marvel Rivals has been a hot topic for weeks, with many players speculating that NetEase Games might be using low-level AI opponents to keep engagement levels high. The conversation intensified with the release of Season 1, which introduced Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman last Friday. However, these new additions brought more than just a shift in the game's meta.

As players explored the capabilities of these new Fantastic Four characters, Reddit user barky1616 posted a video that showcased 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 simply standing in front of them. The opponents, seemingly unable to navigate around her or engage in combat, remain stationary until Sue's invisibility wears off, at which point normal gameplay resumes. This peculiar behavior has led many to further suspect that bots are increasingly infiltrating Marvel Rivals matches.

The theory suggests that the enemy team, possibly composed of bots, fails to recognize Invisible Woman's presence when she is invisible. While results may differ if players attempt this tactic themselves, the video has left the community puzzled and concerned about the growing bot problem.

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