I watch this after I've just seen the clip where the korean player opens up his key binds menu mid gank multiple times to up his apm 😂😂

[fRlngIgrl]

when u can see an enemy this is true. high apm doesnt directly make u better, it provides space to express more nuance. this is why kr pros that are good/played starcraft with esc and mess with in game options. keeping that feeling intact allows the player to play optimally throughout the game, not thru sheer mechanics, but instead as a means of maintaining an empty mindset that can always react meaningfully and quickly.

Even in RTS games that require high APM, the main action was to check if your base was spotted by the enemy’s scout or not so you could expand your territory and gather resources in peace without fending off their raids 24/7. League players think they are hot shit doing this but all they do is run around like a headless chicken.

I love it when people just seizure in place like this in my mid lane. Fastest indicator that they have no fucking clue what their doing and they rage so much when I kill em lmao

"Artificially inflate your APM"? Sounds like StarCraft tournaments.

[buberoini]

I dont even do the wiggles for high apm, i use it as a random fidget so im harder to hit. I dont do it as much as that miss fortune but i do wiggle around a bit. I has saved me multiple times when im not paying attention

[dinobonaciclosic]

I know it's to be expected at this point but are we not going to mention that *clean* double hit at the end?

[birdroll]

It's the same in rts games, thr pros have high apm (like 900+), but you could cut out half of the inputs and nothing would change. Doing things intentionally instead of inflating a useless stat makes you a better player.

lol I’ve thought about this a few times. Sure they dance a lot, but they essentially sit still

[Mimmiks_MKS]

me with ADHD and high APM to occupy that part of my brain while i try and figure out wtf is going on XD

[RSTAKG]

Honestly I’m one of those people that feels better playing with higher apm. Not saying it actually makes me better but I feel like my mouse skills get better the longer I play. Like if I play xerath, I unironically cannot land a single ult unless I spin my mouse around the screen a few times and spam click s

[PhanteonOP]

what does APM have to do with literally walking up in the middle of the lane whiteout 0 reason

[Cazzzz]

Cutting off the absolute Jayce destruction that was coming is criminal

[cnvodsinc]

Tell this to pzzang and irelking, youre speaking from the perspective of a highly precise velkoz player. MF also is just easier to hit than other stuff

[gespy]

apm only matters the most on rts games anyways

[koreanbbq]

Me just using the S key to halt all my movement and the enemies missing everything

[kentlab]

While this is sometimes true. An ennemy with less apm would likely get hit as much by you

[breakingbadest]

I have a randomized system. I click in a "predictable pattern" then i doge in a random direction based on nothing if i have little info on how the enemy casts spells. Then after i doge 90 degrees off of my first way and then i just continue rotate. So it's a system to it but highly unpredictable (this is baseline but every situation different so in most cases my clicking is situational). In mf's case i just wouldn't walk up cause there is no need to walk up at all. As my clicking is a randomized system i know that if i loose the 50/50 the enemy gets something and if i win the 50/50 i get vel's q off cd. Vel's q cd doesn't really matter in this scenario and neither his mana so why would you take the risk of dodging spells?

[belllhanger]

Huh, it's just like when people who jitter back and forth in street fighter.

[waleedalarmanazi]

But punishing bad apm requires amazing experience like azzap has
