Can we get some kind of loading indicator for when people take 10 minutes to load?

Just a little light or something that flicks on/off so that I know things are actually happening and it's not MY client that's crashed?

It starts to get unnerving when 9 players go immediately to 100% and 1 player is static at <100% for minutes on end. I don't know if it's common but apparently my connection is stable enough for my ping to sit at a single number, so my loading screen literally does not change.

In the past this exact thing has happened. Sometimes it's just a long load. A couple of times I spend 10 minutes wishing someone would upgrade their toaster, then it becomes so long I restart my client and it turns out instead of waiting for someone else to load, I've been missing the first 10 minutes of a game.

Many people dont see this type of thing and those that do dont think much of it so they write it off most of the time as hardly ever happens. something should change color when you disconnect from the game and if it doesnt automatically reconnect to loading lobby
