Not really. There's no reliable way to detect the host anymore. This method "usually" worked in the era before bots, but it stopped after bots appeared. Same goes for the current B.Net patches.

This trick relied on the fact that the host would have the lowest latency out of all players (by virtue of being the host, duh), but this is no longer the case as the game is hosted by Blizzard servers, and another player may have a lower ping than the host.

Ironically it did not even work well back when it did "work". Players connected to the host via LAN could potentially be detected as the host due to sub millisecond latency.

The best way to do what you want is to design the game around selecting forces/colour at map start rather than in lobby. That way you can have a dedicated force "host" which the host player can always place themselves in, while still not be disadvantaged with choice selection.

Hosting is such an elitist system, everything should be decided by popular vote.

I mostly agree, but in some sorts of maps it can be useful. For example in roleplay maps where the host usually acts as the dungeon master.
