^This.

Blizzard should really adress this as an issue. Many players took the apm number seriously to check if you were playing faster progresively with the practice.

Now is just a totally useless number.

Theres a 200% difference between my 1v1 games and my teamgames apm...

1v1 would be closing in on 300, and teamgames would barely make 100 at times....
Its not like Im slacking that hard :/

It's disappointing that they cannot just fix the goddamned reading to mean...actions...per....minute. The readings in game and out of game don't even match. And some actions inflate apm while other actions (camera hotkeys) don't register at all.

Didn't Blizzard mention that they were going to fix this issue?

Perhaps they are doing it on purpose. It reminds me of a joke:

A man goes to the rabbi and complains, "Life is unbearable. There are nine of us living in one room. What can I do?"

The rabbi answers, "Take your goat into the room with you." The man in incredulous, but the rabbi insists. "Do as I say and come back in a week."

A week later the man comes back looking more distraught than before. "We cannot stand it," he tells the rabbi. "The goat is filthy." The rabbi then tells him, "Then go get yourself a dog and come back in a week." The man is shocked but does as the Rabbi says.

Another week later the man comes back looking terrible. "It's horrible. It's 9 of us in a room, the goat has made everything filthy and the dog barks all day." The rabbi says: "There's only one thing to do. Get yourself a pig! Then come back in a week." The man cannot believe his ears but once again does what the rabbi tells him.

A week goes past and the man slouches into the rabbi's quarters. "I cannot stand it. It's 9 of us in a room, the goat is a dirty animal, the dog barks even more and the pig sleeps on the couch." The rabbi looks at the man, ponders for a bit and then answers, "Go home and let the goat, the dog and the pig out. And come back in a week."

A radiant man returns to the rabbi a week later, exclaiming, "Life is beautiful. We enjoy every minute of it now that there's no goat, no barking and no pig -- only the nine of us."

I'd say we'll also take whichever half-decent measure of APM by the time Blizz is done with us...

HAHAHA! ive heard this one before but it has been a long time since ive heard it again.

This joke applies to the whole game... They know the basic problems with it already and they are taking there sweet as time to deliver so they can control our exceptions of the game. For example patching things now that should of been worked on ages ago like the hydra (which is still broken and everyone knows it).

Whatever they update is just a big relief to us because it is so painful to live with the current state of the game that anything they do is 'awesome'.

I see what you're saying and to some extent agree, but you're being quite hyperbolic. If it's "so painful to live with the current state of the game" then why are you playing and/or watching SC2? If you're miserable with how the game is now, maybe it's just time to find a new game.

If you reaally cared about what your apm was exactly then you'd use something like sc2 gears, so I don't see why this is an issue as you can still use it to see if your playing faster or slower than you usually would

I don't think it's simple, there must be lots of calculations since APM rapidly change during 1 minute mark. They should invent APS instead.

Their old apm system understated your apm by like 40%, blizzard wont fix this because its smart on their part to have peoples apm overstated. I imagine this was intentional by them.

Exactly, it feels so much better having 200+ apm than 20.

I'm actually fine with APM being a totally random number, maybe this will teach people to focus on actually playing the game proper.

I know I'm not a slow player by any means, but being able to hit 400 to 500 apm by simply macroing and microing at the same time without actually feeling like I'm about to break my fingers nor actually playing my heart out is kind of a hint that the apm you get to see isn't quite correct.

There are two big mysteries in the world. How can someone fail at counting actions. The other one is why subtitles for movies randomly start to go faster or slower than a movie. :D
