Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman Exposes Potential Bot Problem
The newly released Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals is unintentionally highlighting a growing concern among players: the suspected presence of AI bots in matches. For weeks, players have debated the possibility of NetEase Games using low-level AI opponents to maintain player engagement. This discussion intensified with Season 1's introduction of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.
Reddit user barky1616's video provides compelling evidence. The video shows Invisible Woman turning invisible and inexplicably blocking enemy bots' paths simply by standing in front of them. The bots fail to navigate around her until she becomes visible again. This unusual behavior fuels speculation about a significant bot problem.

The theory is that the AI opponents lack the sophisticated pathfinding to recognize the obstruction. While replicating this tactic may yield varied results, the video itself is perplexing and has sparked considerable debate within the Marvel Rivals community.
NetEase has yet to confirm the existence of AI opponents in Marvel Rivals. IGN has contacted NetEase for comment.

Despite the bot concerns, Season 1's content update, including the first half of the Fantastic Four, has been well-received. The Thing and Human Torch are expected to arrive soon. Meanwhile, players continue to discuss the recent balance changes, NetEase's anti-mod measures, and the humorous reception of Mister Fantastic. These ongoing discussions, alongside the Invisible Woman bot incident, paint a picture of a vibrant, albeit somewhat controversial, community.
