    Increasing? decreasing?

    I get about 30 to 50 with terran/protoss

    And around 80 with Zerg..

    I really try not to spam, seems to be increasing but verrryy verryy slowly

    Played a fella during the Beta who had 350apm .. crazy.. I won too, that was roaches for you. I think in SC1 300apm was really a required standard for high level, but in SC2 what with all the automation, it seems to be 150ish.

    at times mine can be 50 - 100, but at other times it might be 7 or 8...

    I mean the average APM for a whole game.. watch a replay of yourself and choose the APM table on the left, check it at the end of the replay

    Really depends on the quality of player im up against. A good player i usually average out about 80 at the end of the match. A bad player, about 40. My highest peak is around 220ish.

    I never bother with apm spam at the beginning of the match, waste of time for me as i always miss micro my drones and end up with like 12 of the litter feckers on gas. Could just draw boxes, set rally points etc etc but i find that takes the fun out of it for me. Don't be fooled into thinking 300APM = mad skillz. I think its either TLO or whiterA that usually ends up with 120max apm and he's a pretty good player.

    The only thing i do try to do now, is to do the new 7% faster mining with my probes(Shift+Right click + C) while the drone is returning from gathering. It drops the wait time on when the drone turns around from the next harvest. Only usually do this at up to 10 or so probles, as it takes far to much time to do for all 20ish on minerals. But its a handy eco boost very early game. But will probably be removed soon.

    By then end of my matches i average about 50-90 apm.
    Starts out slow (30-40) and build constantly throughout the game, usually my opponents apm slowly goes down as the game progresses, so meh.

    i tried the 7% mining trick, imo doesnt worth the extra apm for that :pac: the trick will make the mining slower if you didnt do it right lol. i'd focus on improve my macro overall than this early trick. blizzard will prob fix it soon.

    my apm is averagely between 30-90,usually hit about 130-150 when in battle. any long time DotA player should be familiar with the 100+ apm moments :p

    No idea what mines is, I'd imagine can be fairly low, I dont spam that much and can be very precise in my clicks. Definitly more of a macro player late in games.

    I find Sc very difficult to micro units coming from a WC3 background where it was much easier.

    I'd say I'm around 60-80

    Mine's anywhere between 40-90, so not very good especially as I'm a zerg player. I've been getting better though particularly when it comes to controlling those speedlings.

    I'd average about 100-120 a game; sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

    In around 30. I don't see the point in spamming mouse clicks for no reason. It will peak around 120-150 when I'm under pressure in my replays.
