Just something like the in-game ping meter, but in the client. This way people can tell if they are lagging before they get to the load screen. It always sucks to think that your connection is fine, only to find in the load screen that you are at 200-300 ms. It would be really awesome!

they had this already they scraped it
I'm already playing with 230 pings, because I live in Turkey. It's not that much(<300 pings).
If closing out other programs using up bandwidth is the fix, that can be done during loading no issue and doesn't need a ping meter in the lobby to catch it ahead of time. But if a client restart is required, as it often is, you lose LP your Promotion Series get a queue restriction and (if done often enough) further penalties. People will just wait until loading starts anyway.
This sounds useful until you take that into account.
There are websites you can go to, to check your ping etc before games. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link them (etiquette rules? new to this) but I'm sure if you looked it up you could find a few.
This would be awesome. My duo buddy is at LeaverBuster lvl 1 because he's lagged out of so many games.
