There should be the normal Actions per Actual Minutes. And then this new one aswell, as i think it might add some value to the game later. Ppl like axslav that has a low apm, but very important apm, will be scaled higher, in terms of, if you counted the apm as a skill factor. | ||

APM is all action per minute imo even when spammed. so its totally messed up now. but The questions is what is an "action"? Blizzard apparently means "something a player does, that has effect in the game" while a lot of people use "something I do with my mouse or keyboard"... The second definition is easier to measure but way more arbitrary. If spam selecting workers counts as actions, why doesn't say "moving the mouse" in general count as action? Or scrolling with the window border? etc. | ||

Or scrolling with the window border? etc. That is measuring two different things. I mean, if I am switching between let us say, my rax, my CC's, and my two or three control groups of units. I would like to think that it would be influencing the apm since it helps illustrate that I am not sitting on my are twirling my thumbs and eating a bagel. Like I have said before, apm for myself has always been a means of forcing myself and viewing others as just how active they were. it no longer shows the full story now so more difficult to grasp the situation. Lastly, why nnot have it back the way it use to be? Seems like the general consensus of this thread is that; people either dislike the change or they do not care. I say, why not let the people who look at apm (of course not the most important tool) and let them choose how it is, giving us choices. And those who do not care or see no use of apm can well, bugger off since it does not effect them (saying in a kind voice of course). | ||
