APM is SO overrated though, I really hate when people measure skill by apm.

I'm a Terran user and my APM usually fluctuates between 120-150.
I don't suppose that's too bad since I usually don't spam hotkeys or anything of the sort. Well I'm guilty of spamming in the first few minutes of the game due to boredom.

When BWChart first came out I used to be fixated on obtaining a high APM. While in that stage it was unusual for me to be below 150, nothing special, but I wasn't really learning anything. I remember I used to have a pretty high null count then. I think my skill was in a downward spiral during that phase. APM outweighed my strategical thinking.

After my little addiction to trying to obtain high APM I realized it really didn't mean that much and I started to try focusing on making efficient clicks and what not and I actually seemed to be improving. My mind seemed to be more at ease and I was making less mistakes.

Not too long ago I annihilated a Zerg user who clearly didn't have the fundamentals of the game down. I checked out some stats in BWChart to discover he had an APM of 200+, I found that fairly funny.

It's been said a thousand times before in this forum but APM definitely shouldn't mark your skill level. Sure most of the best players generally have 200+ APM but there's players out there with APM's below 200 that can still give them a run for their money. A good example would be Testie.

average APM: 248
based on 336 games
average game duration in those games: 15:59
hotkeypercentage about 20-25%, (30-35% in tvz)
I had this apm pre-bwchart too.

Max-APM is absolutely totally USELESS. It varies from like 200 to 600 depending on what kind of curve you use (flat/dynamic), and those maxes are about always where u spam hotkeys, or where u press move desperately to save a unit or something. It doesn't have anything at all to do with speed/skills.

If you want to get fast: FORGET ABOUT APM k? if anything, it probably slows u down. Instead, try to be effective when u play, and don't waste clicks. Thats what really make u faster.

Skills > speed > apm > apm-max
Careful with that axe Eugene !
