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. Sc2gears APM is the "normal JCA APM". APM in Sc2gears does not exclude any spam actions. EAPM does (details). | ||

I lol'ed Remember when Blizzard actually cared about the gamers instead of throwing random APM systems at us to make it look like they do stuff and care instead of you know.... the real deal? Either way, this is ridiculous. APM is and has always just been a measure of how fast you are, and then the next step is for you yourself to break down that to understand where you spend unnecessary APM to improve. Which is pretty much impossible for a computer to do with some sort of algorithm since some spamming is necessary to time certain events and microing while others which look similar for the algorithm aren't. | ||

right now I think it's bugged and it's reversed and will probably be fixed soon | ||

I'm fine with using SC2Gears and whatnot, but it would be nice to be watching a replay, hit "M" and see "Oh that's my actual APM, that's really cool that it's a big number and makes me satisfied in my brain." Basically. people want to see high APM. It's so satisfying to see that you have a high APM.. it makes you say, "Man... I'm FAST!" even if you aren't that fast. It just raises confidence and is cool! There's so much of this "ladder anxiety" and ranking dragging people down, so wouldn't be nice for the struggling Diamond player to see 150 APM? He could work towards 200 APM and then he'd be fast like a pro. He would have something besides rank to strive for. I certainly don't feel motivated to focus really hard and play faster because I can't fucking tell that I'm playing any faster than my previous game by checking my APM. Wasn't it cool in BW every time you progressed and got closer to the pro 300 APM? It was like, "Man, I'm getting fucking AWESOME and FAST!" | ||
