Also does this effect apm building units or is it only control groups? It affects any changes to what you are currently selecting. The third example in the OP illustrates this. There is no difference between selecting a unit and a building. The only thing that has changed is that a string of selection changes only count as a single action. | ||

You guys do know that the people in charge of UI are not in charge of Balance? This reminds me on how people complained when Blizzard changed the upgrade icons for coloured ones. if you APM spam to warm up this won´t affect you anyways. | ||

As for the time issue, instead of saying Blizzard should change APM and multiply it by 1.38, they should instead make Faster the default option. It's a much neater change, because it doesn't involve applying the calculations to standardize the value for every game speed. Odd, that's exactly what I and others have said. Don't really get why you arguing same point with the same people oO | ||

Edit: I'm still going to spam, and so are the pros that spam, because that's just how we play the game. Why would you let this change affect the way you play? | ||

Retarded change, blizzard is saying that useful actions aren't actually useful. The spam is not just spam. It gives overview over production. | ||

Tapping is necessary, without you will never be able to macro efficiently. If in addition to APM they want to introduce an eAPM statistic, I'm all for that. Both are interesting facts to measure your grasp of the game and to analyse your improvement from replay to replay. | ||

If you hotkey buildings to check upgrade progress, shouldn't checking those be considered an action? I mean in the end it doesn't matter, people will do that anyways but i just dont see why people assume that pros would purposely spam and tire themselves out without a good reason to! | ||

At the start of the game on the PTR, your APM will probably be 0 after your initial split because you won't be able to do any meaningful actions (unless you drone stack). | ||
