Why am I not allowed to know if I disconnected before a game starts?

I just played a ranked game where I didn't join when everyone else did. I never connected. But when i looked at the pre game screen, loading screen, it just looked like normal. Needless to say, we lost. I am fucking furious. I could have restarted the loading process if I would have known. It took atlas 7 minutes for it to tell me that I had not connected, and that i need to restart the loading process. I'm sorry for my bad language, but why can't I fucking know when I disconnect? Is that too much to ask? Like, i'm not asking for loss forgiveness right here, but i'm asking for the loading screen to look different when I don't load in. And to those saying that I should know when something is wrong when it takes 7 minutes; my games usually take a while to load up. So i'm used to waiting for a game to load for a while.

TL;DR We need a system to tell us that we have disconnected from a game before it starts.

If it takes more than a couple minutes for you to load in exit out and restart. Don't wait 10 min in the loading screen... How can the game tell you you're not connected if you haven't connected to begin with?
