Yes, it's really hard to understand what justifies an abomination like Blizzard minutes. I really can't wrap my head around it.

Isn't that just because you don't play on normal speed but on faster?

I skimmed this thread and didnt see anyone posted this so I will. I dunno if it even matters, but I'm about a 250-270 apm player with terran. I basically only play terran lately and Im really only good with them.

But I played a match as Zerg the other day against another master terran, and I had 400 apm with zerg. I have no idea why really. My opponent was playing pretty quickly with like 320 apm, but I had easily an extra 150 apm just for playing zerg. I dunno what it is that is taken into account for zerg as opposed to terran but I figured id mention it. If youre playing zerg then your apm is probably going to be higher. As terran my apm is about the same as it was in wol.

Mine went from 90 to more than 200, which means I'm more than twice as good.

Given that I'm in the sixth out of seven leagues in WoL, I'd be in the twelfth league in HotS (five leagues above Grand Master), so I really should attend Code S.

Thanks Blizzard!

That makes a lot of sense. GomTV should offer you a seed for sure.

It is, but it really can't be that hard. We play on Fastest with BW and yet the APM is still measured by an actual minute and not a 'Fastest' minute. Whatever that would be. It's supposed to be an easy actions/time. But using non-standard time makes the number rather meaningless. 30 actions in one minute or 300 actions in one minute makes sense. A minute that is faster than a minute doesn't make sense.

Maybe we should just give him the golden mouse straight away? He is to a GM as a GM is to a silver player after all, so let's just skip the humiliation for the so called "pros" and just give him all the titles imaginable. Also all the sponsor money I guess.

Fuck, let's bury him beneath a 20 foot statue in his likeness--why wait for him to die with great deeds, we know he'll do them anyway. Just grab him and shove him beneath his memorial like a true hero.

Your APM is always higher with zerg.

Its always been like this with me.

80 - 90 apm with toss, 100 - 120 with terran and 130 - 150 with zerg. (old counter)

That isn't true at all lol. HerO is known to heavily out multi-task his opponents and he plays toss. Back on topic, they screw up APM more and more, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is knowing that you can increase it a certain increment rather than an actual value, there are outside programs that calculate that anyways so we should be fine.

Does Hero play all races? If no than his example is irrelevant.

The thing it is not a race insult. Im am by no means saying toss has to use less APM. Its just how the counter works. The reason why zerg APM is higher from what i can tell is all the repetitive actions you have to pull off such as creep spread and injecting inflate apm quite abit.

Why the fuck can't APM actually mean "actions per minute."

yeah I fail to understand why this APM thingy could generate 300 threads. We all know that gamers spam apm in early game and tend to stabilize later on. Why bothering creating 25 ways to calculate instead of the number of key pressed and mouse clicked?
