Invisible Woman Detects 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, a theory fueled by developer NetEase Games' perceived attempt 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 demonstrates Sue Storm blocking enemy bots simply by standing invisibly in their path. Remarkably, these opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until her invisibility wears off, leading many to interpret this as further evidence of AI opponents.

The effectiveness of this strategy against human players remains untested, but the video has sparked significant discussion, ranging from puzzled amusement to serious concerns about the prevalence of bots.

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

Despite the bot controversy, Season 1's content release, including the first half of the Fantastic Four, has been generally well-received. The second half, featuring The Thing and the Human Torch, is eagerly anticipated. Meanwhile, players continue to discuss other recent updates, including balance changes, the developer's actions against mods, and the less-than-serious reception of Reed Richards.
