There is a minimum of one uncensored dick in that collage.
Recently stumbled through Youtube and found myself watching a Starcraft Match...
I found myself wondering. Wow this guy is clicking like really fast. Then I remembered that apparently thats a good thing to do, APM and all that...
Now wondering if there is an RAPM. Or REDUNDANT actions per minute. [...]
I've always wondered why people frantically click their mice when they want a character to move there--in the least I've seen these whenever I watch others play Dota/2 (or MOBAs in general) and the like. All I've wondered is 'maybe this prepares them for tense events', though it always surprised me because I can handle those events just the same with a ton less clicking (so then I wondered 'maybe its how they organize?')
But it's such a common behavior. ._.
A friend who plays a lot of LoL seems to think that it's to stop you getting bored while playing. I think another friend, who plays DoTA2 not LoL, once said that it was to make you harder to hit.
That's true in FPSes where random slight movements can throw off someone's aim, but I seriously doubt it in MOBAs. Sounds like the "my attention span is so short that I might get bored walking from spawn to lane" explanation to me.
um, it's actually more true in MOBAs than in FPSs, by a pretty large margin, because there is much more projectile travel time.
Projectile travel time doesn't have a thing to do with it, it's about making your movement erratic so that potential enemies can't lead you reliably. If you're only moving
after an attack, that's dodging, which is completely different aside from the shared goal of not being hit. The former is proactive, the latter is reactive. It's why I said that that doesn't make sense as an explanation for that sort of behavior in MOBAs, as players are markedly less likely to be sniped at by an unseen attacker for a number of reasons: fewer enemies, strong map control (relative to FPSes, where an enemy could reasonably be expected to be anywhere outside your spawn area), and the top-down vision mechanics precluding being attacked from a blind zone or from extreme range.
And, again, even if you
were doing that, it wouldn't make sense to spam-click everywhere unless you're just super-panicky in general.
