Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a suspected problem: an abundance 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 ability. The video demonstrates Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the path of several enemy team members simply by standing in front of them. Remarkably, these opponents fail to circumvent her until she exits invisibility, at which point normal combat resumes. This peculiar behavior is interpreted by many as further evidence supporting the bot theory.

The implication is that the AI opponents are unable to recognize the obstruction. While replicating this tactic may yield varying results, the video itself is raising eyebrows within the community, sparking both confusion and concern over the potential scale of the bot issue.
NetEase has yet to officially address these allegations. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment regarding the suspected presence of bots in Marvel Rivals.
