I initially select my Kitfox Purifier variant (close range fire support) before hitting the "quick play" button. Then Polar Highlands gets selected as the map (oh noes!!!). I would now like the ability to switch to my Kitfox variant that has triple AMS and ER medium lasers
Would sell more variants for the chassis that people own, and get rid of the map/mech armament mismatch situation.

I mostly agree with OP. I would like it if the following algorithm was implemented for quick play matches. Player selects mech weight class -> quickplay -> random map selected -> choose mech only in weight class selected -> vote on game mode -> Match starts

Perhaps make this a Premium option (ie: may with MC)?

I actually really like this idea. Keeping the selection limited to variants only ensures that the tonnage is always the same between the teams, and it gives a solid reason to have multiple variants of each chassis.
lol, please no.

yh or even the same mech just choose a different load out ie an atlas with lurms for polar then a close range build in hpg same mech just a differant loadout i mean you can save loadouts in mechbay so why cant we load them once the map is selected

This would skew the game even more towards whales with massive stables, and too much against new players.
You would have to min/max your mechs just to stay afloat, just like FP.
Horrible idea.
Edit: learn to use your mechs in unfavorable conditions or build balanced builds.

This would lead to each map playing out almost identical each time...
