Marvel Rivals Fans Are Using the Invisible Woman to Detect Alleged Bot Matches

The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing something players suspect: bot opponents populating their lobbies. For weeks, the presence of bots in Marvel Rivals has fueled intense debate among players, with many believing developer NetEase Games is employing low-level AI to maintain player engagement. This discussion intensified following Season 1's introduction of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman last Friday, adding more than just meta shifts to the game.

Exploring the new Fantastic Four characters, Reddit user barky1616 shared a video showcasing an unusual application of Invisible Woman's power. The clip demonstrates Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking half the enemy team simply by standing in their path. The opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until she exits invisibility, at which point the battle resumes normally. This bizarre interaction is cited as further evidence supporting the bot theory.

The theory suggests the enemy team's inability to navigate around the invisible Invisible Woman indicates AI opponents. While this Invisible Woman tactic might yield varied results, the video has sparked considerable community discussion, ranging from puzzled amusement to serious concerns about a growing bot problem.

Without confirmation from NetEase, the presence of AI opponents in Marvel Rivals remains unconfirmed. IGN has contacted NetEase regarding these allegations.
