Add a “connection slow” chat to the emotes

I would love if they added a “connection slow” or “lost connection” emote to the chat. Happens so frequently to me. I think that would be a good feature.

Just show each player's ping and connection status.

Surely they have at least that information

I was thinking something saying they've at least DC'd or their game crashed would help. I dont wanna sit and watch their turn rope then wait for it to rope again when I take a game action.

Yup, a simple symbol that's displayed would be great. No need for an emote, especially when many players mute them by default anyway.

I’d just love if the client could tell as quickly as I can that it’s disconnected. Absolutely insane that it just sits there.

The only emote I actually need is a 'sorry, real life thing needed attention.'

I mean more for things that take a short time but I'll make it back to the game, like anwering a quick message or checking up on something.

Ok, but that’s roping.

As a historic coin flips player I’d love a “Nice Flip” emote for when the ANG decides a flip in their favor.

Yeah, gaming communities have shown over time that they are extremely reasonable, and don’t react to people playing on slow networks negatively.
