I play on PS3.
I don't run into lag as often any more. It seems like when I do lag it is probably the host's terrible connection.
What I would like to see, on the consoles anyways, is for the system to constantly check for who has the best latency in the current game, and after every match change the host to the player with the best (and most consistent over a period of time) latency.
Or an option to vote for a new host. Basically you can initiate a vote to force the system to migrate hosting to whoever has the best connection in the current game (similar to the system I describe above). But I can see this getting abused.
I get more upset when I enter a game and someone with a horrendous ping becomes host and we all suffer for it but the system doesn't do anything about changing who the host is.
