Most of the time, when I see someone spawn camping, it’s a Sombra. They do it in QP too. So I’m going to assume Sombra is the most likely thing we’re dealing with here
In addition to Kiriko, I personally would also try Brig, maybe Moira. Though I generally only have to resort to switching to the best counters if the Sombra is good enough. A large number of them aren’t. Actually, I don’t know if Weaver can be considered a minor counter too or not, but I’m quite good at fending them off on him without needing to switch

Any support other than Mercy/Lifeweaver/Zen.
His projectiles are pretty big and deal solid damage so I’d say hes a fine choice. He kinda shreds health if he’s landing consistent shots

Go Bap, lamp yourself and kill whoever’s camping you, or Moira and just fade out past them. You could duel them as Brig or Kiriko and possibly win, especially if you stay near the door for free healing.

an isolated brig is a dead brig
Lol not true at all as brig ive had my moments where i took on at least 2 others and won. Granted they played poorly but brig is not reliant on the rest of the team to protect her especially with the armor bug goin on right now. Unless that was finally fixed but I dont think it was yet
If it’s negative play from your team like I’ve seen (spawn campers sabotaging their own team by leaving them under-represented at the base) you can report that.
Otherwise, your options (apart from the obvious - stick with your team if possible etc) are wait for the trend to pass, get used to it or stop playing.
Some people seem to play ow primarily to troll / harass / upset others, they’re probably not going away any time soon.
I spawn camp every Ashe Widow Ana Zen and I don’t feel bad about it at all

Spawn camping has been a thing in multiplayer pvp games since forever, but I agree it feels awful to be on the receiving end.
I know the usual answer is ‘Sombra’, but which character(s) are you having the most trouble in terms of spawn camping, and who are you playing?
If it IS a Sombra, I have had success with Moira and Kiriko. They both have escape/cleanse/duelling potential and can work independently.
(I also had one brilliant gamer moment with Mercy where I pistol whipped a sombra to death, but that is an outlier and should not be counted.)

Because it is an effective strategy.
Kill the spawn camper, or try to leave spawn with a teammate.
I think it goes way beyond sombra. Some maps are just badly designed and make spawn camping too easy. For example, on Circuit Royale, attacker spawn on point 2 is easy to camp. On Numbani, attacker spawn on point 2 is often camped as well. Even on Eichenwald, (again) attacker spawn 2 can be problematic if they get you locked in there.
There is a reasonably long list of spawns that are too easy to camp. At lower ranks, especially in QP, people don’t group well enough to break these camps very frequently so the game is basically over when it happens.
Too often it is a group that does the camping and they coordinate. Giving us a solo-queue would certainly reduce the frequency of it.

best advice, don’t one trick. don’t leave spawn alone if you can’t swap.
Especially don’t cry if you don’t swap.
bap, kiri, illari all do good dmg alone and then theres always moira if you don’t want to improve at all.
yes i play like 15 to 20 heroes, its not hard to not one trick, and i will swap to the best hero against yours.
Just take it, apparently. Their toxic gameplay is fine as long as they aren’t saying toxic words 
apparently.
