- Mechanics, Mechanics Mechanics.
In Nafta's 3rd world mind-set, mechanics/mentality/attitude is pretty much mechanics/mechanics/mechanics. Everything can be explained through your mechanics.
The league community has bastardized so many terms by now, half of them mean nothing anymore. people should just be specific when discussing skillsets and avoid the word mechanics because its a nonsense word at this point.

EAPM is Effective APM, it weeds out pointless/useless actions. So, yes, if your EAPM is 50 higher than your opponent it probably will help you climb.
Except the times where your EAPM becomes your mechanics and your brain becomes a robot, so it's also mechanic. In those cases, i'd say 60 is a better number than 50.

You are joking right????
No, he seems like a reasonable person in those videos. The things he talks about are actually pretty interesting as well.
EAPM in league tends to only dictate how fine of adjustments you can make. if you can accurately and quickly do a lot of actions, then you can keep every ranged character at the maximum range needed through small adjustments, where if your EAPM isn't as high you'll have to be more broad with your movements and focusing on actually getting your skills to hit and stay far enough away, instead of ideally far away, its a minor point in league, in dota you can do stuff like chen/enchantress/meepo/naga micro very effectively, but its only slightly more of a big deal.

He tends to not play up the eurojerk character on that series that he is known for on SI.
Thorin's thoughts is pretty legit, if nothing else because most of the episodes are grounded in his, mostly sound, logic and not in his questionable judgement of player talent.
