Before, when you were spectating a player and that player left the match (to spectate or whatever) it would automatically make u spectate another player.

Now, you end up on x camera view. Intended or unintended ?

It gets really annoying when playing/watching KOTH 1v1s >.<

There was a reason for this, but now I can’t remember! (There was a ton of stuff in this update) I’ll respond if I remember. But I do remember making this change intentionally with reason.

Maybe you could make it toggleable? Granted, I don’t know the reasoning behind it.

Did it have anything to do with people staying AFK in custom servers for hours, and it was the auto-camera keeping them from being bumped to character select as you would be in PvE or WvW? Only reason I could think of why you would want to make this change. Because, while berable, it is a bit annoying. We’ll just get used to it.

I remember now: This was a polish item so when players connect they always start in a fixed camera which is less jarring than spectating a player. Clicking the spectate button on the team select UI now always picks a random player if it can. It wouldn’t be too hard to get back the player→player priority; all things can live together happily.
