I was a fan of standard over legacy until I started using lock-on more intentionally. Was doing t8 a lot at the time and noticed (as well as seeing others on here mention) whenever I'd look around at the towers my character would turn away from the boss thus cancelling auto-attacks. This is because your character faces the direction your camera is facing. Lock-on can be finicky too, particularly if you're a lala and/or the boss has a huge hitbox (why I didn't like using it in t8), but it's really superior once you get used to it. I play on ps4 too and just use the R3 click button to pop in and out of target lock as needed. It definitely helps DPS and is more consistent than standard mode IMO, especially if you have to look around to pay attention to any mechanics. Note that while backing up with target-lock is very slow, if you run backwards but at an angle it will be normal speed.
