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.


Yes I understand that. But these are 20 minute games where my opponent has twice my APM and about half my effective macro. Where are these actions going? They cannot seriously be moving that much shit around without accomplishing nothing, so what the hell are they doing with these actions? Are they just pointlessly spamming control groups the entire game and missing all their macro?

the ingame apm analyzer is dumb

use sc2 gears for accurate charts

also, i know a kid who plays terran with 400 apm, and nothing happens. he's diamond... with 400 apm.

he just spends a lot of time tabbing through keybindings and tapping groups, but has shit tier mechanics

It boggles my mind that people can do so much shit and accomplish nothing with it. ._.

Got to play several diamond players and even two masters players this season though. Watch out world, I'm actually playing SC2 multiple times a week now.
