I knew that he probably went on a cursing rampage, but i was afk for the last minute or so b/c i decided to go use the restroom. I looked at the replay, and he didn't say a word. I then went into BWchart, and it said for the last 4 minutes or so of the game, his apm flat lined at 80. Is this supposed to be normal? I thought if u didnt do anything for 4 minutes, that your apm would hit zero...   | ||

It's actions per minute. So probably after 25 minutes he had a certain amount of apm but if he didn't do anything for 5-10 minutes, his apm from the 26th to 35th minute would be 0, but the average apm would still be like a certain number, but definitely not zero =D | ||

I've never used BWchart, but I don't think that's how it works. Graphing a function such as y=averageAPM(from 0 to x) would be less useful for analysis because APM fluctuations in the beginning would be far more apparent on the graph than at the end (surely you can see why). Again, I've never used BWchart, so this is all speculation, but I think it would make more sense for it to graph "instantaneous" APM than average APM. @op: Sounds more like some kind of bug/feature of BWChart to me. | ||

Kinda odd about him pausing and leaving for so long. Most people would just say g2g and type out. | ||

Like fight_or_flight said, it would have to be an average over a specific period of time. So, if it were working properly, in that case bwchart would show the guy's apm drop off with a downward concavity to zero. However, if that's not happening it might be a bug :-/ | ||
