Invisible Woman Exposes Bot Issues in Marvel Rivals

New Marvel Rivals character the Invisible Woman is proving effective in revealing suspected bot enemies in player lobbies.

Bots have been a persistent concern for Marvel Rivals fans, with speculation that developer NetEase Games may be using low-level AI opponents to maintain player engagement. The issue has gained traction since Season 1 introduced Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman last Friday, bringing more than just shifts to the game’s meta.

As players explored the abilities of these new Fantastic Four characters, Reddit user barky1616 posted a video showcasing an unusual tactic with Invisible Woman’s signature power. The footage shows Sue Storm turning invisible and blocking the path of several enemy team members by simply standing in their way. The opponents fail to navigate around or engage her until her invisibility ends, resuming normal combat thereafter. This odd behavior has fueled discussions about bots becoming a growing problem in Marvel Rivals.

The theory suggests that bot-driven opponents fail to detect the invisible hero obstructing their path. Results may differ if players attempt this Invisible Woman strategy themselves, but the clip has left the community puzzled, with many worried about a deepening bot issue.

Without official word from NetEase, it remains uncertain whether AI enemies are infiltrating Marvel Rivals matches or if another factor is at play. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment on the alleged bot presence in Marvel Rivals.

Amid concerns about bot matches, players are still enjoying Season 1’s content update. While the first part of the season introduced half of the Fantastic Four as playable characters, the upcoming release will feature The Thing and the Human Torch.
