Look at the first page of QM templates.
Siege LD, Scrabble, Elitist Africa on objectively the worst WZ map and a lotto. Plus many not-horrendous, but questionable templates.

Why is that garbage so popular?

Great minds think alike...
I was just about to make a QM question thread...

I have never really tried to get the hang of Multi Attack, except a few single-player levels here and there.
Local Deployment... sounds nice, takes too long.

I don't agree with all of your assessments, but I imagine several factors are at work here: noobling votes, people who like very different templates, and... people who have been retired since before 2020.

Inactive accounts are being removed. Even though very slowly (a really inactive alt of mine still votes).
The templates I mentioned are objectively bad. The only MA attack has a permanent seat there by the game creator.

I personally like Elitist Africa, to a point... different for sure.

A lotto, that's a noobling vote, from every angle.
Back in the day, I used lottos to level up.

I am sure there are templates that used to be popular, but now we have more options,
and possibly better options than the ones that won the original popularity contest.

I would prefer that the top and/or default templates were ones that helped new/returning players to best advance their skills in multiplayer.

I would like to try the scrabble template because my own skills are at a point where learning different, even odd templates / maps is good for my learning and fun.

I have been looking forward to the Guiroma template / or Guiroma minus luck factor, in part because I had some great games on that template / map,
and because I have struggled on both recently.
I only saw one on that map so far that appealed to me.

Elitist is objectively bad; the map is incredible newbie-hostile with hard-to-read bonuses (especially if you are colourblind). There is an updated version of the map (https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=80175), so there is no justification for the QM template to even exist.
The scrabble template has 0 diversity across games. Every game has the same distribution. Once you learn how to play it, scrabble becomes a "lotto" - who clicks faster to get 1st order?
Guiroma's luck is very mild. All offensive kill rates till 5 armies are the same, 6 armies have a chance to kill just 3, but 7 armies always kill at least 4.

yeah, I'm in a 4v4 tourney now, 48 hour boot, (ugh), with 75% luck, (uggggh), that's harsh.
I would not mind the luck in Guiroma, except for two things, 1) I don't care for luck at all, so I lack experience at winning with luck, 2) my qm are mostly real-time.

zero luck is just neater on expansion.
I still like different templates, and I sympathize with people who have color-blindness at any level.
I will certainly enjoy checking out the new map.
I do sometimes like templates that are difficult for beginners, tbh.

I used my 2 votes to bump up French Brawl over Bomb AD... which is an okay template, but there are enough like them and I need practice on French Brawl.
I got the French Brawl template before the votes took affect... :P
I will probably do the same thing earlier for Guiroma.

Lotto is so high because riskboy88 bribes people with coins(including me). I don't play qm other then lotto though because I don't like RT games.

SHUT UP.

Anyway yeah, there is only ONE GOOD TEMPLATE IN THE WHOLE OF QM. CURRENTLY NO.13.

All other templates are TRASH

Lol calm down @riskboy88

Oh No risk saw this. I do agree though. Qm is terrible except Lotto. I put those votes there because it's the only good template
