My reponse to a discussion on reddit

Basically, people discussing having a "know the map before you enter" system.

How about a queue system similar to CW?

• You queue as your preferred mech
  
• Matchmaker locks you into a screen similar to the match locked in screen of CW showing team players and map selection. You cannot cancel out at this point.
  
• You have 30 second opportunity to change your mech, but you are restricted to mechs in the weight class you queued as.

The main argument against - This would create a stale meta where only the most efficient mechs would be used on specific maps vs our currently stale meta of Gauss/Laser vomit.

I think this is true with the old maps, but with the redesigns of Forest and River we are seeing more variation in attack ranges. Neither map is pigeon holed into just long range (alpine peaks) or mostly short range.



Edit: weird formatting
