I think APM isn't something you should exclusively be trying to practice or something to be looked at purely as a measure of skill. When you get more skillful, you will improve as much as you need to in your handspeed, in order to continue improving your level of multitask/mechanics as you get better in general as a player; however, I'd be careful of viewing it as having a direct relationship skill though yes, of course it will increase as one improves and has to be able to take care of more things per given amount of time, but it's not as if APM alone literally indicates skill. It can give you a confidence boost though :D | ||

While there's a positive correlation between APM (or is it eAPM? or EPM? whichever one is truly "efficient/ effective APM"... the one that doesn't include spamming) there's not a causal relationship (e.g. SjoW has low APM- under 100- and is still a good foreigner progamer). But keep doin what you're doin! | ||

I lost all five placement matches and never touched the game again until I met some gamer friends later on in the school year. I finally got the courage to do the five placement matches and lost them all over again. I have a replay in bronze and I saw the apm, it was 25. I lol'd very hard. Next thing you know, I realized how much I've improved. I've been promo'd to diamond for season 7 and havent played much though for the first month or two. I had 200 bonus pool but I spent it all in 2 days! Steamrolling in diamond probably means I'm gonna get to masters real soon. My APM is currently around 200. I can say this is fricking amazing when I have the same average APM as the pros! So have a look at your APM and use that as a skill measurement! You'll gain confidence and a feeling of self-improvement! You could use this as a pick-up line. | ||

Thanks dude, people make my blog into shit. Who cares if my post quality is bad? English is not my first language and I don't have a thorough understanding of the game | ||

Now in mid masters, I end games with 150 APM or so. However, in early game spam I can get 500-550 average apm. Now if only I could maintain my spamming throughout the game. You need to keep spamming, and your raw apm will increase a lot. I find it hard, but you gotta just keep spamming your keyboard all game. Good luck on getting even higher. | ||

Good job however on getting to diamond. Thanks dude, but it's not how high the APM is, it's the huge increase of APM what really shows how much I've improved. | ||

Im diamond with like 80 apm still easy, won my first 5 matches never played an rts, only played 40 1v1's overall. Can't seem to play games tho, this game is so hard playing a high amount imo overrated in hardness tho. Yeah you could get to masters with very little APM, but I just have really fast hands. | ||
