12v10 where IS has at least has a chance of winning sounds a hell of a lot better than 12v12 where clans win most of the time.
um 12v12 where IS wins some times and Clan wins some times,
is better than 10v12 where Clan rarely to never never wins,

the problem with your 12v10 assumption is that it assumes the current 12v12 balance is better, its not.
but it is as you can choose any 2 mechs and work to balance them to each other,
any 2 mechs are just as viable as each other, and just as useful, thats the balance im looking toward,

12v10 with clan nerfs reversed would be better balanced than what we have now.
no it wouldnt be, PGI already tested this, before Clan mechs were nerfed, and IS had a 80% win average,
even with the Full Tech advantage of Clan mechs, 2extra IS mechs tilted balance heavily in IS Favor,

the only way 12v12 is gonna work is if clans are massively nerfed, even morso than they already have been, and no clan player wants that. people are already leaving clans and going to IS because of all the nerfs and the lack of new tech.
right now things are mostly balance, 1:1 balance is close and it came with out nerfing the Damage of Clan tech,
it came with IS upgrades still being weaker than Clan, with Clan weapons being Smaller and Lighter than IS,
PGI is giving us balance, without changing the Smaller Lighter more Damaging Clans hold True in TT,
