I think allowing decks in quick play would really improve gameplay. THere are a lot of players who will just disconnect from an unfavorable match(Like short range on Polar or alpine).

I really think it makes sense, if you already know where you are dropping you should be able to choose a mech that makes sense for the map.

Just a thought..

Unfortunately, it would mess up the match balance to be able to change tonnage after the teams are put together.

However, Sparky424 had a really cool idea that would provide a similar benefit:

Now that we can save our load out of a Mech. I would like to use this after the map vote. Letting us use a load out that works for that map.

So you wouldn't be able to change the Mech, but you could pick a different loadout.

Quick play wouldn't be as quick with decks

Those other modes with decks ain't doing so good

No Thanks

I think his suggestion was more along the lines of having 4 decks setup.
1 for each weight class Light, Medium, Heavy and Assault)
So that when you got a certain map you could swap from one mech to another in the same weight class you had dropped with.
Not actually having the respawn option, just an option to change to something else after the map vote.

I think there are other problems with the match maker in terms of introducing this sort of feature. It came up a while back from memory and was to do with the sequence of events or the process the match maker goes through before the game starts.
Not exactly sure.
