Whether this is a bug, or simply my own ignorance, I have no idea. It seems that after I die, my camera will lock on myself when I'm at the spawning pool. It's not a massive glitch, more like a minor annoyance, but I was wondering if anyone knew what I was doing that made it act that way.
also:
- yes, I have considered not dying as a way to fix this. It doesn't always work 
- I know the "y" key locks the camera on you, but I rarely - if ever - touch this key.
- usually while I'm dead i zoom around the map (using the minimap) and check out allies etc.
thanks muchly for any help.
