Good poll, but it would make it even better if there is a way to know which league the people are in that changed the most/least.

The thing that annoys me the most is that blizzard is trying to force RTS competition down to a more noob casual friendly scale despite what community thinks or wants. APM still doesnt mean jackshit, but the only reason they implemented this change was to make bronze-platinum players feel better about themselves while shitting on professional play and its spectator value. cant they just stick to balance changes and leave APM and sound alerts the way it were? not everything requires 'fixing', you know.
just do it

or maybe they're making the apm tab more useful to pro players while bringing bronze-plat players who senselessly spam 200apm back down to earth.

Came back to the game after a 1-month break and somehow my APM has increased to ~250 in the 20 or so games that I've played, up from ~230 before.

Pretty puzzled, don't feel as if I'm doing anything differently.


Wow that's high, I don't know how you do that without tapping lol :D
Mine has dropped significantly from the tapping, from 180-200 to 120-130 as someone above said.

I figured people would not be able to get over 200 with this change, but apparently I'm wrong. So basically you click a lot?

What Erandorr said... this doesn't actually matter. what does a number change? I'm not going to suck any less because my APM is now only 200 behind the pros...

Is new apm finally in realtime? as in actions per real minutes and not game minutes?

Has this been answered yet? Cos I dont get the point of trying to make a more accurate apm count if they arent going to bother making it realtime.

I think this was a bad change. APM Spam was something I would always have in the back of my mind to keep my fingers busy and I think it would sometimes even help remind me to do stuff..but now I have less motivation to spam since my apm dropped down to 110-130 range.

I don't really care about the change but is it really possible to call it APM anymore? It's not truly recording actions per minutes now, it's more like "actions per minutes with a modification". (APMWAM)?!

Anyhing you do in the game is an action. Moving the mouse from point A to point B is an action. APM has always been arbitrary. Pre-patch, post-patch, in BW. Even camera movements weren't recorded before the patch afaik, and that is a much more important part of actual player speed than tapping.
