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. For weeks, the community has debated the presence of AI opponents, believing developer NetEase Games might be using them to maintain player engagement. This discussion intensified after Season 1 introduced Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, adding more than just meta shifts to the game.

Reddit user barky1616 shared a video showcasing an unusual tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the advance of half the enemy team simply by standing in their path. They don't attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again, at which point the battle resumes normally. This bizarre occurrence is fueling speculation about the increasing prevalence of bots in Marvel Rivals.

The theory is that these AI opponents fail to recognize the obstruction caused by the invisible hero. While replicating this Invisible Woman strategy may yield varying results, the video's strangeness has left the community questioning the extent of the bot problem.

NetEase has yet to confirm the presence of AI opponents in Marvel Rivals matches. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment.
