You get more APM as you get better so no it isn't overrated.

Can people stop going on about "real apm" versus "sc2 apm". The number only makes sense if everyone's using the same frame of reference, as it's a number that needs something to compare to to be of any value. So can we just agree that "sc2 apm" is what we're using to compare, and not care about the fact that it doesn't correlate to real world minutes?

Seems that according to the poll your league ranking decrease inversely proportional to one's APM...

Another useless APM thread. When are people going to realise that no one cares about each other's APM and that the relationship between APM and skill is weak within the amateur community.

We can assume relationships between two variables, but I rather have numbers and hard data to back it up or refute. Also, from the Diamond league data, it seems to show that the range is wide, so even if you have lower APM, you can succeed. However, from what has been gathered so far, Diamond league, on average tend to have higher APM than platinum league.

But you don't get better as you get more APM. Seriously, just give up on it. It's an interesting tidbit to look at when watching pro players go at it, but it's not a requirement to be competitive like it was in Brood War. Which is a fantastic thing.
The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination.

No, you don't. I have gone from gold 3 months ago, to high diamond without changing my APM at all.
If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

As good intentioned as the OP might be, this is the internet. These types of threads will obviously fail because there's no scientific method to speak of. Learn about scopes and methods, and then maybe you'll come up with a good way to do it (or realize a good way doesn't exist.)
