My Issues with Custom Game Mode

For the last few months, I tinkered around with the custom mode a lot for the first time, and getting into a custom game is more frustrating than it is worth for two main reasons.

First: Not enough description is being displayed on the game-joining screen!

The only information I get from individual games before joining them is the map name, team size, and a description of the map, which has nothing but useless information that is only read ONCE and never again and somehow took up the rest of the space below! There is no indication of what game type I am getting into until I get in. Sure, I can leave before the match begins if I do not like it, but if I get in as the last team member needed to make a full party, the screen can jump to the champion selection screen before I even have any time to react! Also, shouldn't the empty space in the description be a good place for the host of the game to put in any information in, such as instruction for a made up game modes like the ones in this link (http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_game), or notes such as "NO JOINER ALLOW" for games that the host want to make the rest of the players AI-controlled? The name of the game does not provide enough space to type everything down.

Second: I get booted out of the game for no reason way too often!

This is more of my own personal experience, I understand that, but the fact that I got kicked out of the game before it starts just happen way too frequently. I cannot tell whether the host is waiting for the invited players to respond or is trying to make their game to be special, but many times I jump into the game and then get kicked out at some point, even when I am waiting for other players to start the game like everyone else. Because there is no option to prevent outside players from getting into the games unwanted or notes from the hosts, I often go in uninvited without even knowing that, and many of the game titles just say "(insert host's name)'s game", so I have no idea what is going on in there.

Am I the only one who could not tolerate these problems well?

Hosts can password lock private games they don't want random people joining, but I agree there needs to be more description for what kind of custom game you're getting into (Find the Teemo, Blitzcrank Volley Ball, etc)
