Support, but maybe it might be better without the cloud icon.

*Awkwardly coughs* Ermm, what is a ping? That should probably be explained in the OP so cloud-challenged scratchers like myself have some idea of what you're talking about.Knowledge of ping is fundamental for playing amogus and minecraft
Anyways, support. Now we don't have to waste 2 cloud variables and 50 blocks on an overcomplicated ping detector.

[joke]THANKS TO YOUR NEW FRIEND PING, YOU WILL SPEND TONIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING EVERY SINGLE CONNECTION ISSUE[/joke]
original line from Mulan: “Thanks to your new friend Ping, you will spend tonight picking up every single grain of rice”
Support, would be useful for a project to automatically detect cloud lag and do something to make it not laggy

They probably meant things like decreasing the amount of data transmitted depending on the connection speed, but that isn't really possible because all client will always receive values of all cloud variables.Support, would be useful for a project to automatically detect cloud lag and do something to make it not laggyYou wouldn't be able to do that since Scratch cannot control the user's internet connection.

Semi-support - I could see it being useful to tone down code-heavy projects for weaker devices. However, I'm not very sure how Scratch would even detect the ping.

Cloud variables have a buffer that stores the info before it sends it, there’s basically no use for this
