Marvel Fans Detect Suspicious Gaming Using Invisible Woman

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 bot opponents in player lobbies. For weeks, players have voiced concerns about facing low-level AI opponents, a theory fueled by developer NetEase Games' perceived attempts to maintain player engagement. The recent Season 1 update, introducing Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, has only intensified this debate.

Reddit user barky1616's video showcases an unusual tactic using Invisible Woman's invisibility. The video demonstrates Sue Storm turning invisible and inexplicably blocking the progress of half the opposing team simply by standing in their path. The enemy team, seemingly unresponsive, fails to circumvent her until her invisibility wears off. This peculiar behavior is interpreted by many as further evidence supporting the bot theory.

The prevailing theory suggests that these AI opponents lack the awareness to recognize the obstruction. While replicating this tactic may yield varied results, the video's strangeness has sparked significant discussion, ranging from puzzled confusion to serious concerns about the prevalence of bots.

NetEase Games has yet to officially comment on the alleged bot issue. IGN has contacted NetEase for clarification.

Despite the ongoing bot controversy, players are generally enjoying Season 1's content. While the first half of the Fantastic Four (Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman) has been released, The Thing and Human Torch are anticipated in the second wave. Alongside this new content, players are also discussing recent balance changes, NetEase's actions against modding, and the less-than-serious reception of Reed Richards.
