Ai players to temporarily fill in during 4 player game modes#945

When queuing doubles it can sometimes take forever for another player to join. This prompts some of the players to leave the lobby your in only for some one else to join a bit later. People wanna play the game, not wait around. So maybe after a certain waiting period or if everyone decides to ready up. The game will start and whatever number of players are needed for that game mode will be filled in with ai players. While the queue for other players continue. If a player joins during a match they can spectate until the match is done and then that player will replace the AI.
That way people can still play the game modes they want, game modes like free for all or doubles will have more people queuing since they’re less likely to be impatient. People wanna get in and play and I think adding this will have more people willing to queue these game modes in the first place. As even with 2 or 3 players they can still queue that game mode and play with others. Especially with the game opening up to Casual play, I think this could strengthen the overall engagement for these game modes. I think it’d be another bonus with new players as fighting bots is usually less challenging than fighting a real person. I really think this could help people stay engaged in the 4 player game modes.
