>You can't deny that everyone clickclickclicking like a spastic looks stupid
Yes I can, because every other fucking game genre does it, and is even far worse.

Fighting games requiring quick and complex inputs: fine.
Shooters requiring quick and precise mouse inputs: fine.
Platformers requiring to keep pressing a direction arrow plus some other inputs: fine.
RTS requiring to click slightly above geriatric pace: OMG, tryhard genre, bad design

People have won international RTS competition with sub-60 APM. That's one input per second.
Grab a metronome and go play your favorite non-RTS game while only allowing yourself one key/click/etc per second. See how comically fucking slow it is.
And that's the *tryhard* pace, you don't need it for casual PvP nor single-player.
Unless you only ever played moviegames, you *already* have more than enough APM to handle RTS. Whatever problem you have with RTS it is *not* APM.

>b-but my gook at 240APM!
3/4 of that is spamclicking/spamchecking. Count the inputs that actually did something beyond bumping the counter and even the gooks fall down to 50-80.
Grubby is a specialist at that, regularly hitting near 400 APM in the beginning despite having only built two shacks and having no soldier yet.
