Laracast #15.Easy Authentication video in Laravel 5 Fundamentals series

Now when i register a user i get redirected to /home page, but when i do like Jeff and "logout" the user and get redirected back to /home (which isn't there yet), all of that is fine, but then when i want to go to /auth/register, i get redirected back to /home instantly, i tried a couple of things, and then i tried deleting the user manually using tinker, only then i can go to /auth/register, and then the same problem again, i get stuck at the /home page, i also changed the $redirectTo = '/articles'; , when i forwarded a bit in the video, i see that Jeff does this (\Auth::user();) to find the currently logged in user, i found that whenever i do this i always find the user that i registered is still logged in, unless i delete the user i created, the user is always logged in, the logout method isn't working, any ideas?

My AuthController:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\User;
use Validator;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\ThrottlesLogins;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Registration & Login Controller
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This controller handles the registration of new users, as well as the
    | authentication of existing users. By default, this controller uses
    | a simple trait to add these behaviors. Why don't you explore it?
    |
    */
    use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers, ThrottlesLogins;

    protected $redirectTo = '/articles';

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login / registration.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    /**
     * Create a new authentication controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
    }
    /**
     * Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
     */
    protected function validator(array $data)
    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'name' => 'required|max:255',
            'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
        ]);
    }
    /**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return User
     */
    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        return User::create([
            'username' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
        ]);
    }
}
