The latest addition to Marvel Rivals, the Invisible Woman, is turning heads not just for her gameplay but for her potential in spotting what fans suspect are bot enemies within their matches. The issue of bots in Marvel Rivals has been a hot topic among the community for weeks, with many players suspecting that NetEase Games might be using low-level AI opponents to keep engagement levels high. This conversation intensified with the introduction of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman in Season 1 last Friday, which brought more than just new meta shifts to the game.
As players delved into the mechanics of these new Fantastic Four characters, Reddit user barky1616 posted a video showcasing an unconventional use of Invisible Woman's abilities. The footage captures Sue Storm turning invisible and effectively blocking the path of half the enemy team simply by standing in front of them. The enemies, presumed to be bots, do not attempt to maneuver around or engage her until she becomes visible again, leading to a resumption of normal gameplay. This odd behavior has fueled speculation among the community that bots may be a more significant problem in Marvel Rivals than previously thought.

The theory suggests that the opposing team, believed to be comprised of bots, fails to recognize the path blockage caused by the Invisible Woman. While replicating this tactic might yield different results, the video has certainly sparked curiosity and concern about the presence of bots within the game.
Without official word from NetEase, it remains uncertain whether AI enemies are indeed infiltrating Marvel Rivals matches. IGN has reached out to NetEase for clarification on these allegations.
Amidst the ongoing discussions about potential bot matches, players are also continuing to enjoy the content drop delivered with Season 1. This season introduced the first half of the Fantastic Four as playable characters, with The Thing and the Human Torch set to join the roster soon. While awaiting their arrival, you can explore every major balance change implemented last Friday.
