I get it’s a competitive game and a LOT of players like to spawn camp. But after a recent play of the game I had where I was literally obliterating players by shooting through their Spawn force field, it makes me unhappy.
I don’t think that Enemy or Allied players should be able to shoot through the door to your spawn. How has this not been addressed or fixed yet?
It’s fun at first, but it’s truly a slap in the face if you think about it. It’s bad enough that players spawn camp, but being able to eliminate you when you haven’t even left spawn? Not cool.

If you took damage, you did leave spawn.
The visible border is different form the actual spawn area.
If you see the prompt to switch heroes, you are in spawn.

you must be super stupid to not understand my point

I understand your point.
This isn’t possible, see here;
If you do this and it makes you sad, why don’t you just stop?
If this happens to you, see advice above.
Yeah game is actually good with this. 2 zones on some modes, 1st zone safe, 2nd zone barrier from enemy.
If it’s only 1 zone, it’s all safe.
You got kills because of other people’s shear stupidity on this occasion LMAO 
I love low ranks for this sort of stuff 
A guess, the map was kings row?
This only happens the start for attacking team and the end for the defensive team spawn points, in push and hybrid matches.
Feel like I’m forgetting something, but that was all from memory. Haven’t even turned the PC on in over 24hrs. It sorta shows the level of detail a high level player remembers.
You can shoot them, so why shouldn’t they be able to shoot you?
Ulting in their spawnroom is like…
Well, son, have i ever told you about the Birbs and the Bees?
even better, thered a video explaining that zhe spawn check only trigger every so little often, so you can ohk like as widow people that respawned but haven’t been checked by the code, if they are within spawn.
its replicatable. but kinda hard if not in a lab environment
no - there is LEGITIMATELY an exploit where the same game tick you spawn in you actually are NOT safe in spawn. On any map where it’s possible to shoot into a spawn room you CAN kill people who literally just spawned. Matter of fact with the addition of spawn waves if you are really good you can literally get a double team kill (as in killing the entire enemy team twice) by forcing them into a spawn wave with something like a well timed dva bomb lobbed at the enemy spawn door at about the 3 second count down for their respawn.
Go look it up. They actually should patch it lol. You can also literally hold people hostage in spawn as widow or hanzo if your timing is cracked and you know where the spawn positions are.
EDIT: Found it -
https:// www.youtube.com/shorts/-FVctUbr_4k
also FYI - if you leave spawn and go back in the game has to check your position THEN apply spawn immortality to you after the fact so you CAN be in spawn after spawning and still die if you step out for a moment even if you walk back in. Obviously a small window but spawn room applies immortality late after checking position. 0.192 MS is a very exploitable amount of time ESPECIALLY when you can see the exact count down on the tab menu to time a shot / dva bomb / other 1 shot abilities
another edit: humanbenchmark .com/tests/reactiontime
just saying - if your reaction time is <193 ms you can reproduce this exploit in games just by memorizing the spawn spots especially if you watch the respawn timer. I bet a very skilled widow / hanzo could perma keep some one in spawn if no one interupts them.

Im pretty sure this isn’t the thing OP was talking about.
Also, this is incredibly niche. If this was actually a problem, it would have made the rounds already.
Pretty sure the spawn points for every players are somewhat randomized. You’d have to guess which one a specific player will spawn at for this to work.
And any player good enough to do this consistantly wouldn’t get away with this anyway, as they would get punished way to easily for peeking the spawn like that.
i mean both this is your team losing, they can’t physically kill a tank. And all they have to do is stand in the LoS so it doesn’t hit you. (not sure if you pass through the immune enemies, if so its a huge issue.)
the d.va bomb one, I consider almost fair, as you waste a ult if it fails. (but i agree, its not intended game design and should be fixed)
its rather risky for barely much gains. But still a bug.
Yeah I know this isn’t specifically what the OP meant but IMO even though this is a niche bug IDK why they don’t fix it. That youtuber I linked that vid from actually show cases a few extremely difficult to reproduce naturally exploits that I’m surprised don’t just get patched. I do think a window of almost a quarter second though is big enough to need a patch.
I know it wouldn’t be exploited by many but anyone with cheats could EASILY punish this 100% of the time any time they wanted. Also bet a top 500/streamer could probably pull this move off at least once in a stream session if they challenged themselves to go for it.
Exploiting a bug imo is the same as glitching and should be bannable. If someone killed me in spawn I would most certainly report them for it.
IDK if it’s even a rule you aren’t allowed to abuse bugs but I can tell you from watching streamers it is not bannable. When the mei bug that allowed any hero to literally infinitely fly in any direction / clip through walls was found people abused in comp all the time till it was patched and none of the streamers abusing it and advertising it got banned.
From that point on I’ve accepted that bug abuse is a feature not a bug.
Later and more recently when people discovered you could clip out of the map and basically be unkillable on that push map I abused it every time I could cuz it was hilarious and I never got banned - and seriously some of them were literal top 10 players / OWL players streaming it like it was just hilarious (which it absolutely was). It completely destroyed any match integrity lol I mean imagine a mcree flying through the air or a widow able to snipe from the sky etc etc or pharah with no need to rocket boost to fly.
Being completely serious, not ironic or anything I honestly think blizzards stance on bugs in OW is if it’s in the game you can use it until or if they decide to patch it. CLEARLY just showed you guys video of how to exploit a spawn kill bug that’s literally been in the game since OW began, and there are other bugs where you can break maps / stop doors from opening or closing they still haven’t fixed and I’ve never seen anyone banned for things like this.
EDIT: Also just remembered there was a bug where mercy or widow had sit down emotes which made them small enough to clip inside a rock on 2 different push maps that made it impossible for the bot to pass you which I abused and had a big laugh about every time I pulled it off in comp. It was technically still possible to stop some one doing it if you knew about the rock and punched it but otherwise you were immortal in the rock. Again - never got banned or punished. That’s my anecdotal evidence blizz does not ban for bug abuse.
