I like how they count tabbing thru your production buildings as spam but actually spamming mouse clicks with your scv on the same spot over and over counts as real actions. o.o

I wonder why they did this.

Since lots of the changes they do to the UI or stats and stuff like that is to help the players to learn something about their gameplay (like the clock, hotkeys on the buttons, don't remember more now hehe)

Maybe they were thinking that now people can realize if they are spamming (Macroing??) too much so if they do then it means that you should focus more on other buttons beside the numbers. (producing, using your mouse, that kind of stuff)

I'm sure someday we will have a blue post about this on battle.net :D.
In the beginning there was nothing... and then exploded

Switching between hotkeys isn't even spam.

Most of the time, it's just checking production cycles or switching through different parts of the map, both pretty important parts of the game (macro and scouting/micro).

I don't really understand this change. If anything . . . change apm to real minutes instead of blizzard "faster" minutes.

What a stupid change. People say "well you were just spamming"... and that's not even true, lol, Cycling through buildings is not "Spam" in mid-game if you're cycling checking build times, etc, and even so, repeated button sequences aren't counted either, so it's not just repeated spam presses. Essentially their APM stat means something completely subjective now, and now longer has any use whatsoever, lol.

Does blizzard seriously not realize that pros cycle control groups with a purpose? who cares if a bunch of noobs gets a higher APM....it just gives the newbs a sense of happiness from a high APM even though it means nothing. pointless to me.

They should just post both numbers in the APM tab, as people have said. It won't take up more space than the production tab...

Thing is, cycling through helps you macro, and thus do effective actions, meaning that cycling still raises your "APM", just not as much as it did before. But relativity to other players is what matters.

This is really only the blizzard way of measuring APM.. I Use a program called SC2 Gears that measures real time apm.( I think so anyways.. I normally find that my Average APM in-game and on SC2 Gears are different). I really don't see this being a big problem , i think i will help in the long run to determine the APM in sc2 ( compared to Real time and BW).
