Performance Label

Can we please have the performance label be more useful? As it stand, I believe it shows the average for the current match/map? So if a new match starts, the server will show 100% even though the average the previous round/map could have been 50% by the time the game ended. This kind of defeats the purpose of labeling a server that has performance issues that tries to warn the player joining, unless your viewing the server browser before the match has had enough time to gather the average performance score.
It's already happened to me a few times. Join a server that shows 100%, get awful lag mid-late game, hit esc and check the server browser performance label and it's at something like 45%, lol. I don't want to join these servers, invest time into a good early game to have the end game be a slideshow of lag. Please make the information on the server browser more relevant so I can avoid these servers completely and use proper servers that can handle the game.

Rates above 30 are effectively ignored in the server browser. Anything above 30 is shown as 100%.
I'm sure it will still show but it won't cheat the browser, that should make it go no higher than 67%.
Thats mostly for historical reasons, because it was just the most simple metric to be used. But there are plans for better performance tracking in the future
