Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unexpectedly revealing a suspected problem: an influx of AI-controlled opponents, or bots, in player lobbies. This theory, circulating amongst fans for weeks, suggests developer NetEase Games might be deploying low-level bots to maintain player engagement. The debate intensified with Season 1's introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.
Reddit user barky1616's video showcases an unusual tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video shows Sue Storm blocking enemy bots simply by standing invisibly in their path. The bots apparently fail to recognize the obstruction, only attempting to circumvent her after she becomes visible. This peculiar behavior is fueling speculation about a growing bot issue.

The effectiveness of this strategy might vary, but the video has sparked considerable discussion. While NetEase hasn't confirmed the presence of AI opponents, the community remains concerned. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment.
Despite the bot concerns, Season 1's content release, including the first half of the Fantastic Four, is generally well-received. The second half, featuring The Thing and the Human Torch, is anticipated. Alongside the new characters, significant balance changes and a crackdown on mods have also impacted gameplay. The community's reaction to these changes, including the mixed reception of Reed Richards, is also noteworthy.
