[Gameplay] Camera locked till death do us part

During league, whenever I want to re-focus on my champion I press space.(I do this a LOT because I'm a jungler.) Once every few game it will camera lock on my champion and neither pressing "y" nor manually clicking the camera unlock button works. The only two ways I can reset this are by dying(technically respawning) or by restarting the client.

This does happen to me occasionally when using space to find my champion. I've found I can usually get it to unfreeze by clicking on the unlock camera button in the corner, and holding the button down. Without releasing the click, drag the mouse from the button to the mini-map and the camera will unfreeze and follow you.

There is another way to fix this I believe. It involves pressing your camera lock button in conjunction with another button like shift or ctrl. I forget the exact process... Maybe someone else knows it precisely.

You can also try clicking and dragging around the minimap to see if that fixes it. Sometimes my camera locks when I die and that's how I fix it.

This is another long-standing bug that has been encountered and reported for years, but Riot hasn't fixed it.

When I have camera problems, sometime alt-tabbing out and back in fixes it.

Hapens to me as well when I alt tab too many times. Most of the time alt-tabbing again helps.

that's really odd.

I've had the issue where hitting space will turn on camera lock like this, but it always resets if I click the button on screen. I don't know what could be making it do this for you.

I have the opposite problem, where the camera remains unlocked and will not refocus on my champion, even if I press space.

Do any of you guys use a Mac? Maybe it's a Mac issue?
