I've had over 300 average APM in beta so far (normally around 180-220) so something is amiss, my WoL apm is from when I actually played a lot, I would've expected a drop, or maybe a small increase due to using real time, not this madness. It's broken, intentionally or not. | ||

Blizzard somehow sets everything that they touch on fire - they show Average unspent resources in the score screen and treat it as if it will be the same every game - showing you what it was for your last game, your average for the entire season, etc, completely ignoring the fact that average unspent in sc2 (studied in macro like a pro thread) increases logarithmically with income. They also removed the average income, showing ONLY the incomplete data of average unspent, so you cant actually calculate SQ or anything close to it. APM breaking is nothing in comparison, at least you can just parse the replay and read it from there - the other data is just gone, a victim of blizzards removing data to make people feel better. And nobody will ever notice. Im reading over 300apm ingame every game while sc2gears shows in real time ~150-180apm, 100-120eapm, + about 20-40xapm | ||

Average income isn't entirely gone. GGTracker can read it for you from the Resource Collection Rate graph. And calculate your SQ for you as well. | ||

SC2gears is the only correct way to see your real APM. | ||

Is blizz trying to teach bronzies to not make drones? If you make workers all the time in a 6 minute game you will obviously have less than skipping every second worker in a 15 minute game. It measures your worker building consistency very reliable. Please use your brain before you just start going on the bash blizzard bandwagon. | ||

Is blizz trying to teach bronzies to not make drones? yeah I was wondering about that too. Another thing is minerals saturation. They show X/24 as if 24 was the perfect saturation for 8 mineral patches. Nobody at platinum or higher does it unless they are accumulating workers for an expo transfer. They are just misinforming the noobs. | ||

Nobody at platinum or higher does it unless they are accumulating workers for an expo transfer. They are just misinforming the noobs. They don't say x/24 is perfect saturation, they say it's maximum saturation. Once you exceed 24 workers on a single base's mineral patches, you no longer gain additional income. 16 workers is the optimal amount because when you exceed it, the amount of money you gain drops. For example, let's assume you have 10 workers. If you add one more, your income might increase by 12 minerals/minute. If you add another, it will increase by another 12 minerals/minute. However, if you add a 17th worker, your income would only increase by 7 minerals/minute. Finally, if you add a 25th worker, your income doesn't increase at all. For players at lower leagues, having x/24 is perfectly fine because there are more important things for them to be focusing on than making sure they have 16 workers on minerals at every base. | ||

It doesnt seem very likely with such a big difference from game to game. ^^ Exactly that. I am super confused. It varies from 40-300 for me. Often when I am actually focused and playing a good game I get the lowest values. Is it a deliberate bug? | ||

Blizzard is hurting my pride!! i liked my old apms;C i miss it so much. Edit: To previous poster... That makes my theory the more viable... It takes all the players apms into account... maybe a collective game timer or something like that... this is hilarious xDDDD I'm not sure if this has been said before, I only read half the replies, but the apm counter seems to act differently in 1v1 compared to teamgames. In 1v1 it shows that I'm always 250+ apm, but when I play 3v3 and I do exactly the same thing it only shows like 70 apm. (In reality I have approx 110-120 apm.) | ||
