Is there a reason a person's ping isn't shown anymore?

Remember back in the good ol' days when the loading screen actually showed a person's ping? I thought it was a great, you could tell beforehand if someone was going to have latency issues or not, and it even helped in determining if someone rage quit or if they just lost connection. Sure, there are other ways to tell, but that's not the point. I can't think of any negative impact that having this had on the game, so why was it removed? And would it be so difficult to implement into the current loading screen?

They might have been getting a lot of reports solely against people who had a poor ping, regardless of their actual performance in the match. I'm sure there are benefits to having it as you suggested, but it also feels like another excuse to discriminate.
