I have about 100 in SC2 (~700 Diamond)
Funny thing is, I had ~250 in BW and sometimes I sit there in SC2 and just wait for something to finish without clicking. Because you dont need the APM that was needed in BW, there is no need for me to spam so much to keep my fingers warm and moving all the time.
I spam some hotkeys in the beginning of a game anyways. I am so used to doing this

Anything over 150 (or so, it varies a bit) APM is inversely related to effective management (macro or micro).
You can figure out the other half.

APM has nothing to do with skill. While it lets you do more things, it doesn't make you a better player. Plenty of people in Diamond have APM around 50. Plenty of people in lower divisions probably have APM that's 120+

It's what you do with it that counts. Sure, most higher APM people will be in higher divisions, but it isn't really a good indicator (you can't say this guy has APM so he is better skilled etc).
Life is Good.

Do you play Terran?

Zing! Just playing

I'm around 125 over the course of an entire game at ~900 Diamond.


I play Protoss actually. I really just don't "spam" at all.


Very cool. I spam a bit at the beginning of the game to warm the ol' fingers up. Do you ever feel like you aren't fast enough to manage things with that APM, or do you more feel like you just don't need to spend the APM on things?

LOL

What? Why do we have this thread? "Randomly guess the APM of each rank". WHY?

What's next? Randomly guess the shoe size of each rank.

Bronze - 10.5
Silver - 9.5
Gold - 10.0
Platinum - 9.5
Diamond - 10.5

Really?
