Conclusion: Rito doesn't want us to think about the fact that some people have way better Ping.

You misunderstand.

Everybody's ping used to be public.

Really? When was that? I've never been able to see anyone's ping except my own, and I've been playing the game for over a year.

Around 2 years ago or so.

"Hey Summoners, It’s time to bust out those rare Summoner Icons! Within the next little while we will be rolling out a new change to the champion loading screen that will allow players to display their hard-earned icons while loading into the game.

In addition to this new feature, we’ve also collaborated with the Player Behavior team to drive a smaller change where we will be removing all latency (ping) displays except for your own. Through our studies on toxicity and ping displays, our data suggests that showing pings during loading adds more toxicity to games before they even begin. Ultimately we came to the conclusion that removing the ping display on champion load screens would lead to a healthier overall community, so we acted on it.

All in all, we’re excited for these new loading screens, and we're looking forward to seeing you all show off your favorite Summoner Icons when this feature rolls out. Check out the picture below for a glimpse at what’s coming soon to a loading screen near you!"

Interesting.... now how was I to know that?

You weren't unless you were told or looked through the hotkeys. Riot really needs to mention things like this every now and again.

They also removed information on who dodged the game.

Because trolls need protection!

"healthier overall community" Hahaha. Nice. read as "we have obsolete servers and won't budget for another NA server. Players hate when you lag and give a kill? There you go, problem solved. Now you can be yelled and say "It's the ping it's the ping" and no one will ever know if you are telling the truth."
