Thats exactly what i was wondering, i thought apm was just clicking and every action you do(like original) and Eapm was actions that are effective negating spam(just before this patch)

Blizzard has fucked apm up so much it doesn't make a difference. It's hardly useful anymore in either form.


I wouldn't say they fucked up apm. Its still there, just now called eapm. Read the patch notes it's no big deal.

...and EPM is the new CPM which supposed to be the old APM but is actually the old old APM.
Pretty simple tbh.


InControl's description of his amazement at the epic fuckfest Blizzard made of APM - something so simple it's theoretically impossible to fuck up - sticks in my mind.

Seriously use a third party APM calculator if you actually care. BOTH in-game APMs have arbitrary inclusions and exclusions that make ZERO sense from a pro-gaming standpoint and serve only to mislead low level players. And both use Blizzard time instead of real time for calculation.

Actually, I find APM/EAPM to be a useful metric in helping me determine where I kind of "slack" during the game and improve in specific scenarios. But what's really weird is my zerg EAPM is about 30 higher than APM, whereas it's about 10 higher when I am P or T..

EAPM is more important relative to APM, but neither are REALLY that important...

You should pay APM and EPM an extreme amount of attention if you wish to hang around with the cool kids. Be careful that when you dismiss the supertrendy crew that is formed by APM and EPM just to talk to losers like Strategy or weird freaks like Micro you will be laughed at by all the cool kids of team liquid.

right now:
Game calls it APM, it is actually EAPM
Game calls it EMP, it is actually CPM

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the fact that the M in APM is not actually a real minute. It's APBM (Actions per Blizzard Minute).
