EPTThe spam stuff is actually supposed to help you with your micro. "4-5-6" spam and stuff like that is to check your hatcheries and unit production facilities, all that fun stuff.
Mostly: don't worry about it. Just play more and it'll go up naturally.

You do not seem like the type who is fit for ladder. If you don't like losing so much, just stick to custom games especially if you hate cheese. Trust me the mentality of "not wanting to lose" will seriously affect your gameplay and you may very well go on losing streaks. | ||

And please when you get to 2000 diamond, then say you're a 2000 diamond. Until then, you're still whatever the ladder says you are. We all like to judge how we are without having to actually show it, but just be true to yourself. What your "potential" is isn't actually quantifiable, so why not just pown some noobs to show yourself how good you really are? Seriously, if you beat some high diamonds, you should not be scared of the ladder. Just go do it. | ||

 sorry, but i dont see the point in artificially increasing the apm when u already have a very decent apm and urself feel like u can handle everything u need to with it. when u encounter a situation where ur apm feels lacking, then u might think about ways to increase it. if u dont, i wouldnt even waste a thought about it anymore. | ||

I think not... Btw your an idiot. The apm increase is not "spam"... after game opening do you find yourself with free time to sit there and press your nexus hotkey/select probes multiple times? no. it's from multitasking. If you want a lesson, request one of the progamers who's replays you watch with 300+ for help. Or watch their first person view like the rest of the world and try to pay attention to their selections. GL with your travels... ps. yes, I do think your emoticon of a head banging on a brick wall is you making a correlation of a [blank] post, and a [blank] way to resolve it. | ||

If you want to win games, go win games. If you aren't good enough to beat 2000 diamonds, well... worse things can happen. And if you're worried about your APM, save it until you've played some games. If low APM is costing you too much time macroing, making it hard for you to manage battles, or getting in the way of your multitasking, then you can start worrying about it. Otherwise, just play games -- that's the whole point anyways. | ||

I start with 20 apm till I build first building, than transition into 40 till I scout him, than some multitasking kicks in (scouting, harasing, organizing for attack/exp/defense) and it's 70-120 till actual fight happens (than I peak cca 150-180 but only for little time)... in 15 min long game it makes my average apm 90ish If I spam (which I used to do when I'm nervous) apm is 300+ and I make a lot of mistakes usually because of it : ) instead of working I'm spamming... but at the end of game I feel good because I can insult my opponent for having lower apm and still winning | ||

Since when was "warm up" harder than the actual practice? Lol. It just makes it look like you're trying way too hard to show off. | ||

That's it. I like spamming because stops me from overthinking and keeps me focused on my mental checklist of things I need to be doing. | ||

It just makes it look like you're trying way too hard to show off. More downtime = more time to spam. There's literally nothing do in the first minute or two. If you only did the required actions, you would probably have 5 APM in the first two minutes. | ||

I'm talking about when people go from 300 "warm up" APM in the first 5 minutes then drop to like 60 during the game. | ||
