APM = Action Per Minute
Roll randoms a number between a range (standard is 100)

people use them to decide who buys the chicken or who gets to solo.. things like that. It is just a random generated number.

Apm shows your actions per minute, so u can see how fast u click
Roll if your team needs to dice sth out for example who gets the aegis

I hardly ever see anyone use the roll command like it should, only time i usually see it is if someone is just messing around.

APM is not just spam clicking. I really hate it when people say APM is how fast/how many times you can click in a minute and act like they actually know what they're talking about.
Anybody who has played ladder Starcraft/WC3 or any other RTS game such as C&C would know what APM is. APM is related to how fast you think and how many commands you make in a minute. This involves macro and micro where you concentrate on keeping your resources as low as possible using hotkeys, mobilize your units to take advantage of their attack range and terrain while re-hotkeying your units and re-grouping them to be better organized, create more units, send multiple commands to units, and building more buildings all at the same time. If you really are that stupid you would spam click to raise your APM to make yourself look good.
There's your answer for APM. I don't even know why there's an APM function in DotA since you control only 1 main unit and basically it is spam clicking.
I would continue to break down the remainder of that post but that would just be too mean.

you made a total fool of yourself.
if you ever watched starcraft pros they actually spam click in order to warm up for later clicks in the game. so what is apm? yes it is spam clicking.
WHAT YOU EXPLAINED. is micro and macro. those 2 should not be mixed up with apm.

We use the -roll command regularly in Clannies to decide on whether Sentinel or Scourge has first line up pick. Other then that it is abused i think for pure fun and randomness. And i personally think apm depends on certain characters within dotA and dont think it should be used to measure a players "skill".

Macro and micro is the basis of real APM. Spam clicking is just the moron way.
Psst, "warm up" is not the actual game and those later clicks would be for macro micro.

you guys should stop before the mods come
apm is actions per minute, this is the number of commands you give, so you can spam click move to a location a lot and it will increase your apm, it has no game relevance, some higher level players might want to know it, so they can calculate at what age they will get carpal tunnel, but other than that it does nothing
-roll X will give you a random number between 1 and X, again has no relevance to gameplay unless you use that to decide who gets the chicken or who picks in what order or w/e
-rickroll was just a gag, has no game relevance except for convincing people to rage quit when you constantly spam it and fill up the screen with it

The mods will kill you. Stop this mindless bickering.
I use roll to muck around I suppose, I see it and if I get below 50 I win the game. It actually is proven to work 7 out of 10 times.
