Kick / switch hosts in multiplayer when they don't start [invalid]

I've got this idea from another request I've read.
Why not set a system to automatically kick/switch hosts in multiplayer games when everyone else is ready and the host doesn't start the game within a set time (let's make it 10 seconds). I've experienced problems like these in multiplayer games before and they get really annoying. Automatically switching hosts would probably be better as there's the force game start button to click on. (I haven't done searching before posting this so if this has been posted before, gg)

That's as bad as this idea: t/22817&start=0

10 Seconds are way too less. And also maybe it needs something before the play can be started.

Then increase the time limit? Make it to something which everyone is comfortable with.

why?
in some of my games, we might be ready for 5 minutes before we actually start playing o_o

It might get annoying to wait so long if you aren't actually chatting with the rest of them, and why click on the "Ready" button when you aren't?

Definition of "Ready" from Google

just because you're ready, doesn't mean you have to start right then and there
also kicking a host seems really uncool just because they don't start straight away

Being ready doesn't mean the game should start automatically, my 2 cents.

I am thinking of a better idea: Player can ask for being host, if the host doesn't response in 30s, the player can be the host.
