I like the concept... but without many more people playing I think that it would make for longer waits and more crying...

Don't imagine there would have been any fewer people wanting to drop in Kodiaks over the past 3 weeks if we had IS vs Clan, Clan vs Clan, IS vs IS matches? And can't see how this would help with queues and wait times for QP. Imagine that whenever a popular new mech is released or goes on sale there are bound to be more people wanting to play that... not helping with team balance.

Also the 'when' of choosing team type would be selected? (Clans vs Clans or IS etc). Would this also be at map vote time? Potentically resulting in more mismatches where your mech is less than optimal for the drop. Whether for the map, game type and additionally for team type (Clan/IS, IS/IS, Clan/Clan etc).

How many more nerf Oxides/KDK-3 etc would pop up when your (QP) team couldn't field the latest tall poppy mechs... picturing upto 12 person Kodiak teams dropping (read any top tier new released mech)... this is surely going to cause a little concern for some players.

Personally I would prefer it we were able to have these types of vs matchs; IS vs Clan, Clan vs Clan, IS vs IS etc... as weekly, monthly or quarterly events and leave QP as is.
