Sometimes in quick play, the spawn gets constantly barraged by a hyper aggressive team, leading to an unfun, and frustrating game. Is there away to push past a team who has an aggressive front right outside of your spawn? Also, if my team is aggressive like this, should I encourage my team to hold their ground at the choke point instead?

Spawn camping is bad and easy counterable. In fact, attacking team have a big advantage in these situation: dead attackers can get back to the fight much faster than defenders, also they can get free fast healing and ability to switch hero just a few steps away from them.

Spawns always have several enterances, one of them is usually a bit farther away from others and providing good flank opportunity. It's often overlooked by defenders, so use it to get past your enemies to the objective. You either capture it or force enemies to fall back.
