The APM Maps on this site dont really help imo. Im a Toss player who has a range of 70-120 APM. My problem is that I CANT USE MY 0-9 WHILE PLAYING STARCRAFT. my mouse moves 2x faster than my left hand so i come to a solution. Play Starcraft with half Mouse sensitivity!!! Thoughts? Edit: when i ment i cant use my 0-9 (0123456789...), i ment im not comfortable using them. I NEED to use them to play better.  | ||

Even if you lose the battle, you'll have superior macro and more units for later. | ||

My problem is that I CANT USE MY 0-9 WHILE PLAYING STARCRAFT. my mouse moves 2x faster than my left hand so i come to a solution. Play Starcraft with half Mouse sensitivity!!! Thoughts? Playing with half sensitivity is pointless. You have to adjust to the slow sensitivity and then if your left hand catches up then you switch them back... or something. Moving your hands is more of a mental thing. Try the BlueIris exercise where your entire goal is nonstop spamming to keep a certain APM in a game against a computer (use some APM counter like one with chaos). Edit: If you can't use 0-9... why can't you use the numbers? Are you just not used to reaching up there? After doing it many times it should become second nature and then you'll get faster... | ||

APM means nothing really hate these posts.... if apm means nothing why do pros average higher apm than amatures, why do they average higher than foreigners????? im not saying there is some definitive 1:1 correlation but saying it means nothing is just dumb. and i can for certain say that someone with 40 apm, it will be impossible for them to hit a- | ||

Is there a 'base' apm that players need to be successful? yes. But that comes with time, not through force. | ||

You are going about this all wrong, and i don't know how else to tell you that. just play more, and stop mental blocking yourself with I CAN'T 0-9 so your telling me to attack and wait for everything to die then macro while i get rolled every single game? | ||

USE YOUR MACRO KEYS. Stop saying you can't, and just make a conscious effort to start using them while you play. Start off only using 1-3 or try using F2 or F3 to get back to your gates. Christ you are going about this problem the way a 6 year old would. 'i can't use these keys like the rest of the SC community' 'i can't do it that way' 'i can't macro or micro' Stop selling yourself so short. Even if you play really badly with your macros the first few times get over it and just keep practicing. Instead of F5in this thread every min, you should use your F keys in games. | ||
