I don't know if it was intended, but it it seems logical to me - you can control your lurkers, unlike mine for example. And then they shoud disallow marines+scv hold (useful against rush at choke), unit + peon patrol.

The difference with hold+scvs is that it can't rip an entire army apart in 2 shots.

It is obviously a bug and not intended by the creators of Starcraft, but I think that the move should be allowed nonetheless (however I do not make the rules and understand the decision).

I mean, they ARE "lurkers" - you should be able to wait until the opportune time to strike
too easy

Hold+scvs can save you against, say, 5pool. This means win instead of lose. Pretty big impact on game imho.

So is the Attack a building out of range with a lurker allowed? Its not the same thing but it achieves the same effect.

PS - say I had a scout ling chillin outside T base and 1/8 of the way down the path from his base to mine form the ling I had some lurkers and I watched as he came closer to the lurkers chasing my ling or just walking to me then started spammin 'S' on my lurkers. Thats basically the same thing as any other method. you have to watch the minimap and then use the tactic.

Stop lurker is a bug ant not allowed and pushing units through minerals is OK... REALLY clever.

I know it has never been allowed, but it is total bullshit. Let me reiterate what I posted at GG.net

If you make a group of 5 HT and one zealot in order to move them forward with attack move, is that a bug?

If you group your science vessels with your tanks in order to move them is that a bug?

By definition, these units should not be able to move with attack move, because they dont have that command, yet they can when in a control group with other units. Should we ban that because they do not have the command?

A lurker not attacking as part of a control group under the hold command i not a bug, it is strategy.
Just because it does a lot of damage does not dispute the logic.

Period.

Pressing 's' repeatedly also works doesn't it? O-o

If so then this 'bug' doesn't seems so much like a bug anymore....
