Killers ping in lobby

Would it be possible to see the killers ping in the lobby? Maybe even everyone's ping? And would there be any downsides to this?

I'm all for being outplayed and outsmarted, but when players are using software to send their ping to mars, it's rather frustrating.

    Technically the only downside we can think of is the lobby dodges. These lobby dodges would have a much more valid reason but they do still mess up the already finicky matchmaking. Soooo a wash either way? Neutral at best?

    This has been requested by the community countless times, but BHVR has made it clear that they are not going to do anything about it. They are totally fine with killers VPNing from the other side of the world with an 800 ping and hitting you 5 seconds after you vault a window.

    I can't stand anything higher than 60ms. It just feels so annoying to make alot less stuff cus a killer is playing the game purposely on a horrible connection.

    It used to be a thing before dedicated servers came along. Back in the good old days you were able to see the ping of the lobby host, which was the killer, and you could just re-queue for a better ping match if you wanted.
