How come modern multiplayer games don't show ping/latency? (yiffit.net)

It's always been useful in figuring out if you need to lead or trail a target more in a shooter, but all these modern shooters have taken that bit out of the scoreboard.

Checking out The Finals and for the first few games, I thought it used projectiles for the guns because I hit more often shooting ahead of moving targets, only to find they are indeed hitscan and hit better when actually looking directly at the dude when nobody is lagging.

It just adds to player frustration with no benefit to 99% of the player base who wouldn’t do anything with that information anyway

The other 1% would do a trace route anyway

Though I do appreciate knowing which server to join
