Why can't you exit a match with a poor connection?

Before anybody jumps down my throat over 'potato connection,' just be informed that I have good wifi, at 20 gigs on a 5G network. So, my connection is fine, for the most part.

It doesn't happen that often, but there will be a match or two where somebody just has the absolute worst connection. Hits don't register, constant rubberbanding, teleporting, prompts not activating, etc etc. Sometimes it's me, sometimes it's them. Either way, the connecting to the server is abysmal.

Why can't players simply leave a match, or have the match itself terminated, when that is going on? Surely it isn't difficult to monitor the connection of players, and if one or more players stay in the red for a certain length of time, you can leave without a dc penalty being applied? We can already see the ping of players in match, surely it wouldn't take much effort to add a limiter.

    I've began running into a lot of VPN'ers lately and it's terrible. If you could see everyone's connection then people would dodge and it would take forever to find a match. That's the main reason.

    Cries with 15 ping and everyone else has an advantage over you :'{
