In more 95% of all SC2 games played I´m the only one spamming at the start. Why is that no one spams anymore.
It´s one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game: the early game when you still don´t have to worry about actually winning the game. It goes way back, to the days on ICCup where even d - level scrubs spammed like there was no tomorrow.
Just beating the shit out of your keyboard. Punishing that rodent in your right hand. Maybe hoping that doing so actually makes you a better gamer. Checking the CC at least a trillion times between every scv that is making and boxing those guys over and over, occasionally screwing up by stopping all your workers or sending them to random places.

Satisfaction, the feeling of total control... (that disappears after the scout arrives at your base)
Spamming, I´ve never got that feeling with any other game.
Spam, spam, spam... It´s like a chant
Sometimes I feel like a piano virtuoso tapping on my keyboard with such ferocity and passion...



tldr: I believe it actually is helpful in improving your play, even if SC2 is the game for those too slow and old for BW. Also I want nothing more than to check the replays and see if I beat the opponent in early game APM. Try it guys it´s really fun.

i like spamming. i made games for myself that i try to follow and never succeed in doing well. like clicking every mineral patch within a few seconds. or hitting "r" and trying to rally to the exact same spot with a flick of the wrist. or select every individual worker in turn.

its really fun and i'm pretty sure helped me concentrate a lot better, my apm increased from 90 to 150 after a few months of spamming.

I noticed the same thing...even later on as the game progresses, it just feels like SC2 players have way less APM than the BW guys I played. I'm not even fast, but I usually have almost 30-40 more apm than the people I meet on ladder

Same here, I feel sad when a guy with half my APM beats me. Cause this could never happen in SC1
I can only play starcraft when I am shit canned. IPXZERG is a god.

I used to spam sometimes to make myself feel all gosu but I was a spamming newbie and would oftentimes stop all my workers by accident when going to make an scv.

Since then I've said screw it and don't really care about my APM/spamming.

It's because d-level scrubs are probably the better part of the sc2 players out there.

I play toss at about C- level, I usually never exceed 150 APM (and yes I'm Korean lol). I don't spam that much, especially if I play at home. Now, if I'm facing a friend at a netcafe, I spam like theres no tomorrow... just to intimidate him! Also, NOT spamming or spamming TOO MUCH kind of gives hints about the player's build order (when you play right beside your opponent). Not spamming too much? Possible 4-pool! Spamming too much? Possible proxy rax/gate cheese! Friends say I have good starsense but really, when you don't hear a single keyboard stroke in the beginning from your friend who's playing zerg, it's not hard to suspect 4-pool...

I spam all the way baby! but my real APM is only around 140 in SC 2! ^_^

spamming is fun, the new guys or real noobs think it's noobish but they don't understand the love for it!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
