Could you please add an option to call a vote to kick the host in lobby.
Too often a host makes a game and buggers off leaving people joining and leaving the lobby until he returns. You all know what I'm talking about.
Simple, there's a button which anyone can press to kick the host, it takes the vote of say 8 or 9/10 in the lobby to do it. Doesn't hit the host's stats as that'd be mean.

Erm, it's the hosts game, really. He can host it as he likes, IMO. If you don't wanna wait, join another game or host your own? I really don't understand how this would be useful. And it isn't all that common. Sorry for being blunt; it's nothing personal.

On the one hand I like this, but on the other hand the host could just troll, or some program might get made to autoclick this.
Maybe add a "AFK Challenge" where any 5 players in the lobby can demand the host respond within say 60s or be autokicked.

Just add a visual notifying you if the host is AFK. No abuse. No kicking, mass clicking or anything else annoying needed.

Your dumb or what? You can't just know when host is afk or not. You waste 5-10 min waiting for the game to be full, and in the end you find out that he is afk.
I like the idea, and I've also voted yes.
