Players purposely timing out

Can we get a feature where we only play against players that have a certain amount or percentage of time outs? Can this value be displayed publicly (i.e. to shame these players) or used in the background to filter out players that do this thing on purpose when they lose? I'd rather not play against these players.
same, i've played quite a few games today where a I pull a tactic off and a nab the opponent's queen and then they just go afk... it's really lame and most of the time i'm stuck waiting for the remainder of their time to run out..

(SOMETIMES it recognizes they have left)
The short answer is no, you can't get that feature. Timing out isn't always what you think it is, it could be just a bad internet connection.
1) Block jerks so that you don't play them again. 2) Pull up tactics trainer and solve some tactics while you wait
Report people you encounter who do this. Some bellend tried that with me but I reported him and he was timed out by the mods in minutes lol.
