Zerg requires the highest apm to play effectively in general macro/micro (maybe not micro since that toss is the hardest if you want to use all the spell effectively) Terran has the easiest micro in general (but but stutter steps micro) In big engagements terran army are already pre splits, it’s basically up to the Zerg to engage and break that position | ||

Even if it's true, what does it really matter? Are you going to look at Serral and Maru's FPVODS and see a real difference? Who cares if you can spam and artificially inflate APM, it yields no advantages at all and this hasn't even been a popular or even relevant discussion in probably 8 + years. | ||

Ever since the steal hotkey, hotkeys got introduced I have been having inflated APM, as a Protoss player. But as we all know APM is meaningless, sadly. I do think the Zerg players are the fastest, they have more to attend to and reaction speed is a huge factor, as the defender. That doesn't necessarily mean that the avg ladder Zerg is faster than the avg ladder Terran though. | ||

It was a good thread and test IMHO, I knew it was a myth but never tested actually the reasons of it. Since I never spam APM I take in consideration the APM numbers on the summary after a match only to check if I am improving or not but never as a core like for instance time I was supply cap =P Thanks for the thread Phantom and the laughs, the moment I read "Zerg" and something against it I was sure the thread was yours, but I love you friend, also thanks a lot for the tips on my open, it helped me improve a lot the early game vs Protoss and Zergs but still failed to hold some all ins lol | ||

Fox just takes the cake as far as willfully distorting reality in subservience to their viewers (i.e. most major hosts mocking the insane election lies privately while advocating for it publicly. Usually it's the other way around, so you have to respect the fidelity to the green. Then again, since everyone and their mom thinks their opinion holds equal weight and validity these days, you have a plague of conspiracy and mindless worship of personality. But I digress. | ||
