Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a potential problem: players suspect they're facing AI opponents, or "bots," in their matches. This theory has gained traction among players for weeks, fueled by the belief that developer NetEase Games might be using low-level AI to maintain player engagement. The recent Season 1 update, which introduced Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, intensified this discussion.
Reddit user barky1616's video highlights a peculiar tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the path of enemy players simply by standing in front of them. These opponents don't attempt to circumvent her until she becomes visible again. This unusual behavior is interpreted by many as further evidence of AI opponents in Marvel Rivals.

The implication is that the AI-controlled opponents fail to recognize the obstruction. While replicating this tactic may yield varied results, the video has sparked considerable debate, ranging from confusion to concerns 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.
