What measures eAPM?

also, @ topic: Just because someone is D and could probably hit C or whatever doesn't mean they're noob bashing, probably just climbing the ladder and the fastest way to do that is to play people your own rank.

I totally agree with you on this lol. Everytime I lose like 5 games in a row to D/D+ with like 200-300+ apm i get freaking frustrated and then i just start to play D- people to boost my ego lol. Also at the start of each new season I will never play because 90% of the time I'd be playing with A or Bs who just completely rape the fuck out of me

Well my new accounts have to start somewhere, can't exactly ask iccup to let me start on a C account every time now can I? Also I will often play on a D account before playing on my real account just to warm up. And anyway whats the problem with playing skilled players? It's much better experience than playing against a legitimate D

well you play terran...
even d level terrans have 150 APM, and lots have 200-250

the thing holding me back isnt my macro, its all the formations and stuff that can only be learned through experience

so just keep playing

You need to go find out who combat-ex is then.

I would, but there's nobody to tell me what to do. Haven't seen any really good Terran guide yet. TvZ is no problem at all, but TvP is totally strange imo

I like it when I play super strong players at low ranks. It's not like I'm gonna win the iCCup ladder so why should I care if I lose? If you get personal satisfaction just from playing bw as a hobby and not taking wins and losses so seriously iCCup is tons more fun.

you know what sucks? people with ranks better or near yours that dodge, because they want to noob bash

so once you hit mid D, only mid level D+ will play you, and like mid level ds will join and then leave which is annoying as hell

almost every D player besides the obvious, obvious complete newbies on iccup had the same or higher apm than me (~180) when i still played a lot

so yeah it's really hard to believe, but at least on ladders everyone and their mother has 200+ now

I don't! I have 100-140ish apm...last I checked about 5% have lower APM than me. 180 APM seems to be a pretty common cutoff for a lot of D/D+ level Terrans though... there's a decent number of people with around 150ish too (they tend to be Protoss or Zerg).

Which is unreal to me, because I consider 140 apm to be really good for me. ;x

And I can hit D+ with a little work. -_-
