When you look at the APMs of the top people in the top dota/hon clans, none of them have below 100 APM.

As you go up the PSR ladder, peoples' overall APM goes up.

APM is loosely related to skill, and 100 APM is a widely accepted threshold.

chu has a average of 200+

mines pretty close to 100 if i remember

I see.

that's from my personal experience
friends who have 40-90 are either borderline retarded or just pretty bad
a lot of the people i play with from my vent are 1700s because they only play when the better kids play to carry them, when they belong in the 1500s and seem like this Eveal guy, calling kids bad, good, etc, and are eventually losing my psr for me when they drag me into games

i probably go a bit overboard on the APM, but to me it's a way of keeping warmed up, know what i mean?
like clicking to bounce around, harass, canceling abilities, etc while waiting to last hit in a spastic manner is much better than these kids i see who hold position, go for a last hit, hold position, etc

Idk, for me it's because I tend to deal with lag as well, so the more I'm constantly moving it gets a little harder. It doesn't make a huge impact, but it's easier to see what's going on if I do what you said by holding position and going in for the last hit.

You cant tell from 1 stat if a person is good, you have to look at them all..

Average kills/death/assists pr game i think is pretty important.. Does a person even participate in the game?
Win rate
ck
cd
kd

And while i look at those stats, i keep in mind which heroes he playes the most, (if he playes carry, semicarry, support, tank etc)

I never look at apm though.. imo it doesn't tell that much.. as long as its not just like super low

HEY LOOK MY CLAN IS ON THE LADDER
