In Lieu of the Pandemic of Freeze Lag
This game needs a panic button. A button that will instantly disconnect you from the game and instantly take you back to the loading screen, so you can reconnect to the game. No more waiting five seconds to exit the game, then clicking on reconnect game. Make it a hotkey combination (something like ctrl + shift + c would work awesome), and it would fix the freeze drop problems. It wouldn't encourage leaving because it would take people right back into the game.
