Add ping lock to LoL (ONLY IN RANKED GAMES)

I don't know how it is on other servers, but high ping is a very big issue here on EUNE. And I'm not talking about people from far away who play on the server (I've seen some ppl from Africa who play on EUNE). I'm talking about players with bad internet, and there's a lot of people like this here on EUNE. 800 ping or so. It's impossible to win with player like this on your team, it's like he is AFK.

I think ping meter/lock would fix this issue. Some kind of meter that would be in the launcher, and you would not be able to play ranked if you exceed 200-250. (You'd be able to play all other gamemodes though, so you wouldn't be completely unable to play.) And if you're in queue and you started the queue with normal ping but your ping exceeds the maximum number as you're waiting in queue, the queue would stop if the ping doesn't go back to normal in 10~ seconds. That would prevent a potentional lagger ending up in someone's team and making them lose.

I know how the lagging starts because I used to have a really bad connection and it always started with lag spikes (250-300 ping every 30 seconds). And then it was worse, and I ended up with stable 300+ ping. (It's not always like that of course, but 70 out of 100 times the high ping would build up slowly and it wouldn't come just from all of a sudden). But I'd never play ranked with that, I always watched out for my ping on teamspeak (TS has a ping-meter so if my ping exceeded 150 for more than 10 seconds I just didnt play ranked that day so I don't autolose because of high ping).

Sorry for my English, it's not my mother language, thanks for reading and have a good one!
