Because people think that they're so pro with 300 apm and trying to justify that "Terran's need 300 apm to keep up with their opponents, lol" while all they do is spam 151515151515151515151555151515155115515515115515151 for the first 5 minutes of the game and click about 30 times in the same location while trying to set a single command up.

But when it comes to an actual fight their inflated 300 apm can't even help them stim/split under a storm or baneling rush and cry about how imbalanced it is.

Well they have mines now so that may be true but splitting vs banes is about the only serious micro in the game so why you downplaying it

Not enough practise ofc

I have this terrible habit of spamming.

The longer the game goes on, the faster I spam my ctrl groups.

This does absolutely nothing, and I know that, it's pure finger memory and I just do it by reaction.

I'm pretty sure it hurts my play, so I should start looking at areas where can start clicking less.

But, this could be what's happening here, finger memory / bad game play results in higher worthless apm.

e; In HotS with the bugged APM I'm usually around 550+ for games that go on 20-25 minutes. With most likely 90 effective APM.

You had like 490 apm or something when you were playing vs the scot

Rofl, yeah pointless spam at its best.

e; not gonna bash myself too hard, I can still fuckin multi task and actually play decent, faggots.

490 amp wtflol

Rick versus Arnold Bo5 show match.

pointless spamming so they feel like a pro

APM is meaningless tbh
I like to spam at the start of my games to warm up, it's good, your reactions will be faster, and smoother if you warm up, you'll feel and it can be important. You'll feel your keyboard and mouse more.
