I just finished a round of the championship playlist on abandon, and all the two top scorers did was camp the spawn points. I guess you could argue that it’s just working the map, but I find this some what a design flaw in the map. Of course I personally find spawn camping a unsportsmanlike and cheap tactic so maybe I am just biased… however I do have a somewhat higher ping, so this type of behavior makes games not only unplayable for me but downright not fun. 
Spawn trapping is a legitimate tactic.
I rarely encounter Spawn-Camping…
Except for in SWAT, because spawn-camping is a legit tactic in SWAT.
But still…

Being a dumb-áss and destroy others entertainment by not letting them to play or counter the attack then call it a legitimate tactic is one of the worst things that can happens IMO. I don’t know why people cannot play a bit more noble.

Matchmaking is for the competitive. If you don’t want severe competition, play custom games.
Oh, by the way, bypassing forum censorship is against the rules of the Waypoint forums (highlighted above).
Not to mention this is FFA we are talking about here…spawn killing is GOING to happen, whether you like it or not. There are two ways to fix this, do it yourself, or avoid being one to take death after death upon spawning.

Thank you master teach me. Here, adjudicate above your Padawan, I keep myself to it I promise.
Spawn trapping and destroy an entire team’s fun is legit, but camping isn’t? (how camping works. Stay in one spot, if you’re enough idiot to go into a camper’s trap, then you only can blame yourself.) Nice mindset. Competitive community always cry about tactics they can’t or don’t want to adapt to, but their own idiotic things are legitimate? Something is smells wrong.
Op im sorry you didn’t have fun in your match however spawn-camping will only occur if you let the enemy out play you. You simply got out done and suffered for it the rest of the match.
I honestly hate haven because that’s the only map I get Spawnkilled on swat often.
I remember getting a message for going 3-14 says “you suck” yet the other games before it I was over 20 kills and positive 10-15. xD
It can happen based on if they know the spawns plus how aggressive they are.
> Spawn trapping is a legitimate tactic.
yep it is an advantage to win, pretty easy to do on Abdandon.
Yeah campers suck.
But I feel like spawn camping is down to flawed map design not the player.
Perhaps they can put a system in place where you can only spawn outside the enemy lines of sight, and maybe are invulnerable for like 3 seconds after you spawn.
