Rest easy, I defeat people going at 250+ with 120. To quote Goody: "Lower APM equals more skill per action." If you want people to tell you where to improve, post a replay here.

You can ask for help and we'll give it but we won't give advise on things that you shouldn't be concerned about such as APM. If anything that is the most worthless metric at the end of the match that the performance displays.
The the ladders lust for all-in every single game and my lust to get a reaper opener every single game things have been going pretty well for me lately ^^
The new scouting options in HOTS may be my favorite change
@Zap do you know a good time where I should suicide in my reaper for scouting info? I think it is around like 4:30'ish. I'm not sure at what time generally more gates, robo, stargate or nexus goes down exactly. Should probably review my reps to know that timing.
From watching Grubby's stream 4:30 is probably early. 1gate Nexus hits at around 4:40. So maybe like 5:30.

So I just got promoted to Gold league with this travesty of a match. I tried a half assed 888, then tried to transition to raven/BC, then ended up wearing him down and winning the war of attrition by denying his expansions and spamming marines. He ended up leaving the match but I think he'd have won if he'd stayed. This game is broken as hell, I don't belong in Gold.

I just got into Platinum League for 3v3 after my placement matches... I SUCK... what the fuck is going on?
I'm worried about 1v1 I won all 3 matches of my placement matches and two to go, but I know I'm not good.... what's going on here?! People Smurfing?
I don't want to be placed in a high league and get massacred

You will lose about 50% of your matches eventually, don't worry about that. Your matchmaking rating at the start will be quite volatile, but it settles over 10-20 games. You will run into people who will completely demolish you, either due to luck or being that much better, just play.I just got into Platinum League for 3v3 after my placement matches...

I'm not a huge fan of having to manually a-click on destructible rocks. I like it for that plate at the bottom of ramps but I queued up my marines to kill the two sets of rocks on Akilon and checked up on them minutes later to see no damage done and just chilling ><
I'm actually not sure if I love the a-click on the little plates. 9/10 when you accidentally click it the action occurs doing an attempted a-move.

Also for my Terran bros if you're opening reaper it is better to just go 12/12 instead of 12/13. Everything works out the same but your Reaper comes out faster. Only difference is your 13 SCV is delayed by a few seconds but it speeds up your first reaper significantly.

They intentionally changed it Tuesday so you have to attack command rocks. By default now right click on them means move to them.
I decided to actually play ranked. Went 3-2. Got put in Platinum. Fear gripping me. Sadness overwhelming. Four games later at least I'm Diamond. Would really like to push into Masters this season but I think my TvT and TvP is too bad at the moment.

Finally got someone to practice PvT, so far the proper answer to terran harassing seems to be returning the favor instead of taking it without lube. Order of games is Belshir - Akilon - Newkirk if you want to see some progression.
edit: added 2 more games from ranked
