Matchmaking not filling small modes with AI to start the round, Bot Quota issue

After the new patch, me and friends can't even play the gauntlet mode (pity since we really like the idea of that mode, it offers something different other than BR) maybe it got affected because of the new mode sabotage that takes forever for players to fill in. The small modes feel like time wasting now. Please EA fix this. Honestly this is killing the game.
