The new public game system sucks.

So far the few times that I've hosted public games nobody even joins until the skeleton king is killed, and any games that I've joined have had the same problem. I don't like the blind/random game joining. Bring back the D2 system. I don't understand why we're restricted in this aspect of the game. I understand why a lot of changes were made in other aspects of the game and I appreciate most of them, but this one makes no sense. In no way is it an improvement thus far. If anything bring back the old system with more info displayed while selecting so we can make a better choice if this game is for us or not.

It's currently broken which is why you experienced that same situation. We're working to fix the system, but thanks for the feedback.

It's also worth noting the Battle.net interface is still deep in development. Something like an actual game list was in our initial plans but a lot of features are being evaluated and re-evaluated.

Personally, the public game finder is awesome and in almost all cases better than slogging through game lists, the caveat being when it's not in beta and actually works.
