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, players have debated the presence of AI opponents in their matches, 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 a peculiar use of Invisible Woman's ability. The video shows Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the path of half the enemy team simply by standing in front of them. The opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again, resuming the battle as normal. This unusual behavior fuels speculation about the prevalence of bots in Marvel Rivals.

The theory is that these AI opponents fail to recognize the obstruction caused by the invisible hero. While results may vary if you try this tactic, the video has sparked significant discussion, ranging from confusion to concern about a growing bot problem.

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