Player Speed

[White Fang]

"Also, the length of the game does make a lot of difference. If you're rushing, everything has to be done faster, and it requires some effort to pull it off. If they resign, obviously your player speed is going to be massive. If they survive your rush, then you move more towards booming, which requires less micromanagement. Your player speed starts to fall quickly when you don't keep up the pace."

yeah my player speed goes down to 400-500 after rush which is like around 700-900 O_0 the only time ive had above this is when i was doing mod dm and required buildings i got 1.3k woot =o

So i think everyone agrees that a player speed in normal games of 9k in ee is not possible.
Well when someone does 1000 hotkeys but only 100 clicks, his player speed will be over 1000

lol ye =D

f u have 9000 player speed in every game, u ll probably need a new keyboard every 2 weeks cus of pressing so many hotkeys O_O

I think that there's a tolerance of 400-800
Having a higher playerspeed simply means your using more hotkeys which is individually different.
There's players that prefer hotkeys and on the other hand guys who like to do more by mouse.
I have always prefered mouse and clicked myself into death in some middle sh games but never reached a player speed higher than 900 or even 800.

I only sue a ferw clicks and no hotkeys so what? lol
But thats probly cause I'm noob. Imo playerspeed is the most sueless stat but there are always some people (looks at skulls) who think palying without hotkeys doesnt work. And then there are the worst people who say high playerspeed = uberpro

[Hello0]

just look at eis..20 hotkeys in f11 2h but like 4k clicks =D

The starnge thing is , the player speed acutally is not calculated , by how fast you are.
LIke i said before , the formula is working with a percantage between mouse clicks and hotkeys, so in general if you do many mouse clicks and not as much hotkeys , your player speed wont get over 800.
Anyway, what I was going to say is that playspeed , doesnt really represent your speed. Some people with mouse are faster than people with hotkeys in the game , but it will be stated that the player speed is less.
But still without hotkeys EE wont work... everyone is pressing ctrl , to controll his army fully, or everyone will locate his army in a spot, so you just click the button really fast and got the whole army.
I really think that the formula doenst make sence... probaly people inventing it , to just have it , and didnt really think about it.

But if i try really hard i am able to play on a speed of 5000, especially mod.

Some hotkeys are indeed neccessary to be good. Still doesn't change the fact that you still can be a decent player without using any hotkeys
