About Locked Camera

I've recently tried out the new camera locks (Semi and Per-side offsets) and they're neat new options for players who enjoy playing with camera lock on. Semi-locked specifically provides an awesome extended view of the area around you. The issue I have though is switching directions feels a little wonky and I was wondering if you folks have considered perhaps implementing a fixed camera similar to Semi-Locked but with the camera always showing the area in front of your character?

A "floating offset" would be nice. Like the camera moves off center when you push your mouse to the edge (just like semi-locked) but it doesn't go all the way out, only halfway. Similar to your proposal but it's not based on facing. Having your camera too far in one direction makes you really susceptible to getting flanked unawares.
