Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem

The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a potential problem: players suspect an increase in AI-controlled opponents (bots) in their matches. This suspicion has been brewing for weeks, with many players believing developer NetEase Games is using bots to maintain player engagement. The introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman in Season 1 has only intensified this discussion.

A Reddit user, barky1616, shared a video showcasing an unusual tactic. The video demonstrates Invisible Woman's invisibility ability unintentionally blocking enemy bots. The bots seemingly fail to recognize or navigate around the invisible hero, continuing to attempt to move directly into her, until she becomes visible again. This bizarre interaction is fueling the ongoing debate about the prevalence of bots in the game.

The effectiveness of this tactic against human players remains untested, but the video has sparked significant community discussion, ranging from puzzled confusion to concerns about a growing bot problem.

NetEase has yet to officially comment on the alleged use of bots in Marvel Rivals. IGN has contacted NetEase for clarification.

Despite the bot concerns, players are generally enjoying Season 1's content. The first half of the Fantastic Four is now playable, with The Thing and Human Torch slated to arrive soon. Alongside the new characters, Season 1 also introduced balance changes and a crackdown on mods, which have generated further community discussion. The reception to Reed Richards, in particular, has also been a topic of conversation.
