just take apm as a measurement of how fast your hands are. eapm is just pointlessly complicated. | ||

epm is how efficient you are when you spam your buttoms. It was suppsed to be CPM (commands per min). No idea what the EPM means | ||

I believe they mixed up the EPM and APM calculations because APM should be higher than EPM. EPM is supposed to remove keypresses that have no commands issued with it (ie. cycling through your buildings), while APM is supposed to include every button your press as an 'action'. Blizzard called it CPM in the patch preview, it is now called EPM. | ||

I think cycling through my buildings is far more effective use of APM than just clicking on a spot 20 times for a move command, you have to see when your units finish, when your upgrades finish etc. Why do they even put stuff like this in, wth is this? The only thing they achieve with this is to make it overly complicated for every new player who has no idea what APM or EAPM means, also its so much confusion if you compare your APM with other players lol | ||

It's hardly useful anymore in either form. | ||

Continuously cycling through your control groups is actually very important (it is a key part of macroing well). Right-click spamming, on the other hand, is the worst kind of spamming you can do (it hurts your macro and multi-tasking to spam clicks instead of being precise). Click spamming counts in both EPM and APM, whereas control group cycling only counts in APM. Both are not very useful, but EPM is even more worthless than APM. | ||

But APM will be actions per minute, and the other thing will ignore spamming. In any case the highest number will be your apm, the other number the other thing. Oh and both numbers aren't true still i belief, as they count in ingame minutes. | ||

Yeah, I'm on eu so no patch yet and the current form of apm count I can have 120-130 blizz eapm thingy and SC2gears has it at 80-90 or so. I guess the latter dont count mindless move spam for no reason. Also blizz apm counters are based on when you start to spam/play fast so with the current settings I get wayy higher if I go for some early ling play compared for roaches or whatever. Adding to all this blizzards time setting is still wrong. I still have to say normal JCA APM is the real thing since double tapping to move cam, checking up on building and upgrade progression ect is not counted as useful. | ||
