I've suggested an idea like this before. I think it would be a good idea.

I am 100% certain this is one of those "be careful what you wish for" deals, where the reality of this is not as wonderful as expected.

Sure, you could get instant match-finding times. But at what cost to the quality of the match?

Maybe have a deck of 4 mechs (1 for each weight class) all set to go and let Matchmaker work out the mech.

Logged in just to like this and other posts here. Great idea, would play this almost exclusively as I tend to swap mech choice every fews rounds anyways.

It seems like an excellent way to speed up the matchmaker by artificially inflating the resource pool of players.

I like this idea. Have a drop deck ready of ready mechs, and number of any weight class.
The matchmaker views you as 1 possible participant for each weight class in your drop deck (so you could be eligible for up to 4 slots if you had at least one mech of each weight class). Once it finds and opening for your Elo and weight class parameter, it then grabs a random chassis from your drop deck (assuming you have more than 1 of a given weight class), and locks your seat.
