My apm almost seems race dependent. When I'm zerg it says I'm anywhere between 150-400 apm, terran is 100-150, and protoss almost never shows over 100, and quite often shows sub 60. My average apm pre-performance tab was about 140ish, and I'm a random player so it's not like I'm just really bad at toss, quite the opposite of the apm orders.
I've also had a couple of games with my roommate where we each show different apms for each player.

Protoss is less action-dependent than the other races, it's not just you that feels/has noticed this. It's more the inflation going from WoL to HoTS that is weird.

I mean I went from like 180-220, to 350-400 though, which is insane.

I'm glad there's a thread about this because I HATE the new APM. I stopped playing WoL about 6 months before HotS release and was usually around 80 average APM by end of game, now I'm at 320...yeah...ok...what's even the point of showing it now?

I wish they would stop messing with this. Would be great to see an accurate statistic in-game.

For now I'm using sc2gears.

This is really quite a pain... I was averaging about 150 at the end of WoL. I played a ton of HotS beta and right when it came out and feel like I've really improved, and I also feel a lot faster. I'd LOVE to be able to compare my APM, as it was going up steadily, but now it just shows around 400 - 450 every single game, which is completely useless to me. Interestingly in team games, even if I try to play as fast as I can with the same race, it's only about 150-200....... the new APM is beyond pointless.

Yeah, I really don't know what's so hard to get about a system that should just measure how many clicks and key presses people do Oo I mean it was artificial when the concept was originally designed and measured in the most basic way, that stuff now is like giving people their car's speed in "hills climbed per minute depending on weight".

So with the recent patch once again revising how SC2 calculates APM, do we have any additional data regarding the "new" APM measurement's accuracy? Has it been completely fixed?

So going through the recent pages i don't see it brought up. So like on the SC2 tab, i constantly get APM in the 150-250 recorded, but on GGTracker My average APM is around 60, you can see it here: My GGT page. Do we know how he calculates APM for his site? Does it just use the whole match and just average it out, is it real actions or camera actions?

Since people on the bnet forums are complaining that they "lost" APM in the recent patch, they might have finally fixed it. I would like to know, if they still calculate it with the "faster" in-game time though.

I experience the same thing. When I play Zerg my APM is easily twice when I play the other races. Zerg is pretty much my worst race right now too so it makes very little sense.

Yeah the recent changes were pretty interesting to say the least.

Before this I had 220 APM on Terran, now it's around 130.
For Protoss, from 190 to 95.
For Zerg, 320 to 190.

Well I guess this feels a bit more accurate.

Hi, camera actions are excluded but everything else is included.
