Also, locking spectator camera sucks for new players, since the ability to watch better players when you are dead is a great tool for people who are just learning.
The spectator camera also allows you to see the dominating players and builds are on the server and adapt accordingly.
Camera lock wouldn't actually interfere with either of these since you'd still be able to watch any of the actual fighting.
I said in OP that it would mean less fun, though.
It was a joke.
I told you it was a joke because I think you didn't get it.
It really was a joke. No, really.
You put a smiley face in, but that actually indicates smiling, hence the name "smile". Not the same as "telling me it was a joke" which would require a smiley called "joke". Maybe they should have one, with a jester's cap on or something.
We actually play fair and none of us "ghosts" and gives others spectator intel or deliberately loses rounds by assassinating team members.
Yeah, sure you do. I believe you. Although I may be joking.
