Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman May Have An Unexpected Use: Hunting Down Bots

Earlier this month, Marvel Rivals added the Fantastic Four's Invisible Woman and Mr. Fantastic to the game as part of the Season 1 content. While both characters have been welcome additions to the lineup of heroes, Invisible Woman appears to have an unexpected way to expose enemy AI bots on the other team.

As demonstrated in the clip below, Reddit user barky1616 revealed that by turning invisible, the Invisible Woman was able to block the other team's members simply by standing in front of them. The suspected bots were unable to come up with the simple idea of walking around her or attacking the Invisible Woman until she dropped her invisibility.

If this video really does show a way to expose bots, it's possible that NetEase could make the bots a little smarter so they don't fall for the same trick. But that wouldn't really address the anti-bot sentiment among some fans.
