Instead of nerfing characters, can we do something about blatant spawn camping?

Especially in Competetive, where u cant just leave a round, the attackers constantly get pushed into the spawn with the enemy team INSIDE THE SPAWN, just killing them as soon as they move. Its impossible to break a spawn camping team, so can we get some kind of spawn area protection? Is making the game unplayable.

I hope someday they will do something about that, getting spawn camped is not fun at all.
Sadly, for some reason in Dirty Bomb I see quite a bit of people that enjoy spawn camping…

Looking back at Brink, and how they countered Spawn killing springs to mind.

Spawn camping only happens when one team is outclassed by the opposing team. Better team balance would help. Better map design is needed, as well. Take Chapel’s final objective. To push the EMP charge in you have to spawn camp.

The only time a spawn camp happens the whole game is when a team is completely out shooting the other team. If the other team could just get frags they could break out of spawn. Watch two really good dirty bomb teams play each other. Generally a spawn trap won’t last that long because the trapped team will get a couple of picks and then act on them.

The best fix to spawn trapping is better team balanced and working ranked matchmaking. Map Design isn’t an actual fix, because there will always be a setup that locks down the map, no matter how long the spawn invincibility is, or how far back the enemy spawn is. If you make it so that the opposing team can’t enter the other’s spawn, you’ll just see teams setting up outside those areas.
