There are some people with APM that high who are legitimate D/D+s. no d's at 250 apm unless spaming and to answer question once they reace a certain rank and are not destroying every1 and getting some losses they like to restart and get better stats, but there are people like white-ra who and majesty_cz that play like 1000 a season with no restarts, simple reason they wanna get better most people just like to win and playing vs better people should be good for you since u learn, but it is annoying losing to D players when u know u r a better rank and you are thinking wtf | ||

There are plenty of C players at D - and they have these sort of accounts. But you can't see their stats unless you check the website. So how are you to know that the 2000 you are playing is like 12-0. | ||

No way, replay? lol Also, Im sure a lot of people who might get to D+ or C- (or in your case, C+...) get there and then they start to lose some games or struggle to maintain their rank, so they make a new account to play against people they dont necessarily have to try as hard against. | ||

So how are you to know that the 2000 you are playing is like 12-0. Use the /stats command. type "/stats [enter name here]" and it'll show their point ranking. Unfortunately, it won't tell you their record, but you can at least roughly figure it out if you're at a major point deficit. | ||

I used to smurf D back in the summer when I was C and I'd try to play with as low apm as possible. Me and my friend haemonculus would see how low we could get our APM with still winning a game. The lowest I ever got was 37 apm and still won the game. Highest ratio game (highest enemy apm vs lowest my apm and still winning) was when I had 50 apm and my opponent was 200 apm zerg. lol | ||

I wouldn't be surprised if there were lots of D+ players who had that much apm, without randomly spamming! I don't think APM is all that accurate. For example, a friend was over the other day to do some studying and he wanted to watch me play a game of SC. I played a lot worse than usual with him watching. I had 170 APM (my high average) that game and 130eapm. I could feel myself doing things a lot slower and yet my APM was still high. I must have been doing a lot of unnecessary actions because I was anxious. This also caused me to delay important things (like lurkers or hive tech) and every second counts. Therefore, you might have really high APM but all you're really doing is spamming. It also shows that eapm isn't an accurate indicator of your playing ability even though it might be better than apm. | ||

Eapm (Effective APM) Is the only viable measure of the player's real speed. And it shows nothing but the speed itself. Fast idiot <<< Smart Panda | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. -_- | ||
