I absolutely agree with this.  Especially because its just one more thing that can be lied about.

"I was in electrical with Red, and the bar didn't go up when he finished."

Red was ejected.  Pink laughs maniacally, having just murdered Purple in medbay before "watching" Red in electrical.

I'd love if the bar only updated every 10 seconds, or otherwise was delayed info.

The other feature I most want to see is some punishment for leaving games.  Basically, if you start a game, your lobby LOCKS to that game, and until the game is done, you can't join a new one.  No more of these game-hoppers hunting for an imposter role.

Organized games are great, but joining public at random is a constant frustration of 1-3 people leaving each match (less than 10% of public games have 0 leavers from my experience).

You may not have encountered it yourself, but there is actually a punishment, it doesn't kick in until the 3rd game or so that you've left without playing. It starts at 5 minutes then if you do it again 10, so on so forth until some cool-down timer kicks in and after that you have 3 games again.

Yes, I can vouch for you with this. I was actually temporarily banned once but it wasn't intentional in my case since it's just due to my connection and not me purposefully quitting.

I'm then confused how I see it so much.  Because the frequency it occurs would indicate zero repurcussions

That said, I can also see the math that this delay on the timer doesn't work.  If you have a 20% chance per game of being imposter....

Game 1: 20% chance.  If not, you leave (80%).

Game 2: 20% chance.  If not, you leave (64%)

Game 3: 20% chance.  If not, you leave (51.2%)

Based on that, a habitual leaver will get imposter before the timer kicks in basically 50% of the time.  They'll then play through the game, and reset? their timer, allowing them to repeat

And the other 50% of the time, they just go play other games instead, having ruined 3 games for up to 9 other players each.

There shouldn't be a "3 game" trigger.  It should occur the first time you leave, period.  You're free to rejoin the game you left, but otherwise you have to wait for it to finish.

If "Visual Tasks" are turned OFF, it doesn't show the progress bar. Same for tasks like Weapons & Medbay Scan & Storage Trash Dump.
