Is there a way to enable a ping meter in game?

Nah, it would cause outrage when you get to 3k ms games with 100ms ping limit. I mean when people could actually see and read this ingame.

from a perspective of trying to determine what events in the game correlate to what type of network drag... i'd say it's a good idea.

 

edit:

 

you can always use your windows resource monitor under network, figure out which IP is the host and ping it yourself.

Ping is not the only thing that makes your game lag. There's packet loss which is the biggest issue with 0,5M upload speed connections and lower.

Setting ping limit to 100 ms just makes you connect to countries close to you, and if it's just slow connections around then it just does more damage to you.
