Might have been suggested before, couldn't find it.
Basically, add an asterisk * after the game host in upper left corner.
Example:
leetplayer (50)*
This way we can all see in the group who is the host. and we would also know if there was no host.

Top person in the list is host, unless host leaves then it gets complicated.

Okay, didn't know that. Still would be nice to have an asterisk though.
Also, yeah, if the host leaves then there is no control over the group. Sucks.

Until the group move to the next map, then the first person to enter the new map as part of the group gets host/boot mode.

Not so that I've seen. I've followed a group where there was no host, then we went to the next map and there was till no host.

Well, I know being in groups where we were all chatting and no one was the host. new map with same group, no host. Hmm.
At least if we had the asterisk then no one would have to ask "who is the host?" or "is there a host?". I realize the top name is the host but if there is no host then the top name is not the host and the group assumes that that player is the host. (<--say that sentence fast 5 times).

When you go to the join game menu it will say the host.
Example I make a game.
When you scroll down the list it says MoarPewPew's game.
It shows the host already.

Yes, but so often you join MoarPewPew's game and MoarPewPew is no longer in the map but other players are there continuing to play the map. No host.

I too would really like to see this implemented, especially now that the game has gotten more difficult and group selection and leadership have become more important.

Yes but if someone joins a friend in a game from the friend screen they don't see that.
