  • artanisIs there a general scale between APM and ranking on bnet?

    I don't think so... people like to talk about APM but I think it's overrated. While typically better players will have higher APM, it is not indicative of skill. Lots of players spam commands (esp. in first 2-3 mins) and increase their APM without accomplishing anything useful.
    I think the trick is you always want to be doing something and making sure not to ignore anything (empty queues, idle larvae/drones, resources accumulating, supply limit, units while moving through potentially hostile areas, etc.).
    I think it is a useful statistic, but gets overemphasized; someone with no knowledge and high APM would likely lose to a knowledgeable player with some reasonable level of APM (~60+?).
    That said, I would guess most gold/plat players average over 100 APM fairly easily...
