In multiplayer games, laggy players appear as "red" - but it is not clarified by the color red what the user's latency (ping) actually is, in units of ms, or what other stats are.
Similar to how you have a selection of player colors and start positions when you click on a player's flag or start #, I think that one should be able to click on the green/orange/red circle and the display shows, in small text, the player's name with detailed netgraph info. Ping, choke, lag, loss, updated as frequently as once every two seconds. I think this would be helpful for hosts who have a tough time hosting larger games, as they can weed out the laggers with ease. But this feature should be available for all players to check the ping of other clients.

Re: Latency information
I think it is a good idea.
