Why not just deactivate lock on to move backwards and lock on again afterwards?

Tbh the lock on feature is long overdue and a remnant of times when you needed to look at an enemy to do autoattacks, because they were only a 90° forward and that is the reason the lock on feature locks your position fixed to the center of the enemy you are targeting.
Nowadays with 360° degree autoattacks, "auto look at target when using a skill" and also many 360° skills, lock on is past its date.
