Not able to move camera in TFT

nuclearwarpotato··50 votes·25,536 views

Basically I can't move my camera to look at any other players/battle while in this game mode. This persists even after I lose and click the "keep watching" button leaving me just viewing an empty field. Whenever I click on the mini map or try to use the hotkeys to cycle players it just rotates the camera angle of my field. I was able to move the camera around just fine on the PBE and no matter what I try nothing seems to help. I have tried reseting the controls but to no avail. Has anyone else run into this or know a solution?

I have the exact same problem, i think it is a bug. I have tried everything to move my camera to enjoy some shows when my fight was done. I hope riot fixes this camera control ASAP because it makes the game less enjoyable.

FIXED! Log in to your account. Go to C:/Riot Games/League of Legends/ Delete your whole Config Folder. GO in a custom game play for 30 second then leave. Click the gear at top right of client then initiate full repair. Should work after.

This did work, but be aware that this will reset all of your settings.

My hero. Was getting sick of thinking I had a good gunslinger start then slowly realising everyone else was also building it.

Same problem here :(

So thankful this is something common and not just me! I'm experiencing this issue too, and its beyond frustrating. No amount of trawling through every option in the settings nor pressing every key fixes it

I have the same issue! I've tried resetting my computer and client, swapping camera using the map, icons, and unlocking my camera, but nothing works.

Please look into this Riot. I want to be able to watch the match play out if i get knocked out early, rather than staring at a blank board.

Hey everyone,

I was looking around and I found someone who posted a fix on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeamfightTactics/comments/c63iro/help_camera_locked_on_little_guy/es749dm

It worked for me I hope it works for you as well.

Same issue. Have tried making changes to the camera settings in the config files, but to no avail.

To reiterate:

  • camera is locked on my Little Legend
  • clicking other boards only rotates the camera, with my own board still on display
  • unable to unlock camera via the "y" key
  • attempting to "keep watching" after a loss forces you to stare at your own empty board until the game ends or you manually exit

Please add this to the bug list and fix ASAP. There's a level of strategy that players WITHOUT the bug have access to, and it would be nice to be on a level playing field.

Also it really suck that when you play with friend and you lose your only 2 options are watch an empty battlefield or just leave the game.

[ [ [ Found a fix that works for me everytime ] ] ]

When you get in game after picking phase, end the process in task manager and when you reconnect in the client it should be fixed

You will need to do it for each game you load into.

unlock your camera. Typically with the "y" hotkey.

That was the first thing I tried LOL.

not sure if there is movin camera, but if u move ur avatar around u can c the map.

I was able to view other battles/ players just fine on the PBE. Also all my friends who play the game are able to change who they are watching so there is definitely a way to do it.

It's not a bug, you just can't move the camera...

Rito INTern3 votes

So much misinformation about this mode. You absolutely are meant to move the camera. Scouting other players is vital to TFT. Not just for purposes of counter building, but when a character is frequently purchased by other players, they appear less often in your rolls. So looking at other players is a must, and not having the ability to do so significant dampens players. It also stops us from enjoying the post game. Why would there be a “stay and watch” screen if you aren’t able to move the camera?

nuclearwarpotato2 votes

Thats just wrong. I am able to just fine on PBE as well as all of my friends are able to change which battlefield/player they are viewing. It also makes no sense at all that they would have an option to stay and watch after you lose if you can't change what your camera is viewing.

We'd probably believe that if there weren't key bindings mapped to the actual command "Scout Player to Left/Right" in the options.

I hate this bug, it's terrible. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I have this issue to this day still and it is infuriating when I lose early and friends are still playing but I can't spectate them. Extremely annoying.

Temporary solution, go into the league folder, go into the config folder and open PersistedSettings.json in a text editor. Go down to the "HUD" settings category & find "Lock Camera", set it to 0. I find it reddit It works to me

I have the exact same issue. I'm stuck following that cute/stupid Little Legend all game long, and it's sometimes hard to see what's happening on the board. Get's hella' frustrating, very fast.
