What you have now is something that isn't APM but you call APM. It's nothing useful | ||

That being said, I don't really care for this change. | ||

When i tell some1 about esports and sc2 i usually go throught the basic and the more interesting parts of the game for guys who don't play like what it requires to be a pro or how much they earn, how much they train each day and such and as one of those things i tell them about how fast you need to be in game in order to be the very best and now that blizzard reduced the apm of every1 essentially. I can't speak about apm in the same way i used to :/ and I know that most of the people that follow sc2 apm doesn't mean much but when you tell someone that doesn't follow the scene it always adds some respect. | ||

I have no clue whether or not my multitasking or mechanics have improved. | ||

Macro under pressure, on the other hand, is a solid test of multitasking. Are you keeping up with spending lategame? Or while harassing/attacking? Those are your measures. | ||

Thus pros will produce more, harass more, scout more. -> i.e. more actions. Pros' APM will be much higher than those of wannabe-pros, or less capable players. Those less capable players' APMs will suffer the most. Simple as that. I am already seeing good pros' APM hovering around 250~300 (and more) when things heat up. "Less capable players" that had pro-like APMs will no longer see their high APMs. You will need to do more and faster in order to have such high an APM and win. Sure you can spam click just for the heck of it but it won't help you win unfortunately. And you can be certain that pros won't spam click to raise their APMs. At this point, the more I read these nonsensical replies, the more suspicious I become. I think there are some folks who are afraid of the reality. | ||

I mean sure I could watch the whole game and just see when I'm tapping but the apm is a quick and easy approximation that saves me re-watching the whole game. If players just want to keep it up at the start of the game mineral stacking should both keep it higher and be actually useful. | ||
