I see no reason now that they added an icon to show the killer has a bad connection to the server.

Yeah, kind of a pointless ask since now everyone in a match can see who has a bad connection. There's no secrets on that front.

The killers' ping should be shown along with the survivors' ping on the menu screen while in a match. They must also add an automatic ending to the game if a player's ping gets too high. It's ######### to have to DC due to terrible lag. Then you might wait a while, try again and get the same result. You don't know if your connection, as the killer at least, is adequate or if the lag is even on your end. So you can easily do this a few times and end up penalized with a temp ban.

No, this would be INSANELY easy to abuse. It's not hard to write a script, or DL a program, for the explicit purpose of throttling your own connection.
Anyone losing would do this, and promptly end any match they are losing. Because all the game would see is 'Pig got high' and end the match.
People used to do this all the time when the 'net was young and multiplayer games were new. Start losing? Throttle your own connection! I believe it was called 'lagswitching'.

I would like to see the Killer' ping in the lobby. There's no reason not to do this.
If I could avoid playing against people with 200 ms ping, I would.

Yes.
Also players from West EU like Ireland shouldn't be matched with players from South Africa or far east Siberia.

This. I've done so many matches with awful killer pings and they are not fun. :(

yes, continuous exact killer ping when pressing esc. just like for survivors.
Also exact ping for everyone in lobby.
The icon in game is a nice heads up - but I believe for that to show up ping has to be 200 or worse. I'd like to have a more precise info.
