Let us change loadouts while searching for matches

While searching for Competitive or Premier matches, CS2 blocks players from changing loadouts and shows this message:

“Loadout cannot be changed while searching for competitive matches.”

I honestly don't understand why this restriction exists during queue.

Queue time is literally one of the main moments when players:

• browse inventory
• organize skins
• adjust loadouts
• mess around in menus while waiting

At that point we are NOT inside a live match yet.

And changing loadouts during queue doesn't seem to affect competitive integrity in any way.
Default weapon icons already exist for every player anyway.

I completely understand restricting loadout changes during an actual match.

But during matchmaking search it just feels like an unnecessary UX limitation.

Possible solutions:

• allow loadout changes while queueing
• or at least explain the technical reason in the UI

Right now it just feels restrictive for no obvious reason.

TL;DR:
CS2 should allow players to change loadouts while searching for Competitive/Premier matches.
