Can we get an animated loading indicator for the loading screen?

Can we get an loading animation for the loading screen? Often times people will sit a certain load percentage for a long while and it's hard to tell whether or not the game has frozen. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, something like a swirling icon or flashing line will do.

It's especially hard to tell since they removed visibility on everyone else's ping

For now, you can always check your ping to see if it's still going up/down.

That would be pretty cool if we could.

Yes please, sometimes the game freezes and i only notice when it finally unfreezes at 10 min into the game

I like this idea

I think this would be a fantastic idea to have added to the loading screen which would help to let us know if the client is frozen or not. Numerous times' I've been in the loading screen for over 5 minutes thinking that my client froze when it happened to be a person with a really crappy computer.

I agree, sometimes after like 10-15 secs of no % increasing anywhere, I'm always wondering if I crashed, when it's just someone with a really slow computer. Adding an animation would help fix this I believe.
