Solution to afk (high ping) players?

I was wondering. Why doesn't riot implement some sort of ping checker before allowing players to play on ranked? That way everyone in a ranked game would have already been checked for decent connections. Resolving poor plays in ranked and afk players from lag issues? Why hasn't this been a thing?

pretty much because your ping can get fucked once you join the game..

Umm because it might not even be accurate......

If riot was to ping my computer right now I would have a ping in the 90-120ms range.... However because I use a VPN to reroute my connections to avoid a bad hop i actually have a ping at about 74............
