I can imagine that this would be helpful in multiplayer games e.g.

when green flag clicked
if <(☁ ping ::sensing) > (100)> then
say [Oops! Your connection seems unstable: try to fix the problem or the game won't work properly.] for (5) secs
stop [all v]

Support!

Would be a great addition, because knowing your ping is a crucial part of gaming, so you know if it's lag or just your computer can't handle the load.
(one question, what is a reporter exactly? I've got a guess as to what it is, but I'm not sure, is it a piece of code that reports what is happening?)

say ((x) + (1))

A reporter is the Scratch term for a block that reports a value that you can then use in inputs to other blocks.

For example:

say ((x) + (1))

In the above example, ‘(x)’ is a reporter that reports the value of the variable ‘x’, and ‘() + ()’ is a reporter that takes its two inputs, adds them together and reports the result.

*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.

Ping is the time it takes for a user to send a message to a server and receive a response.
