It's really annoying.
I've responded to a lot of threads regarding spawn peeking within the past month or so, and I know it's something a portion of the community has an issue with. It can be frustrating to spawn and have someone kill you as soon as you step out.
It's something I've had to deal with a lot, but I've found that, as an attacker, we have a ton of tools at our disposal to nullify and even counter peek these individuals.
Choosing a spawn point where being spawn killed is least likely should be your first step. It easier said than done and requires a bit of map knowledge. For example: I know Kafe has some pretty gnarly spots where you can get killed. I would suggest spawning River Dock and walking up the right set of stairs and slowly peaking 2nd floor window and the main entrance/window.
Another option would be to bring your drone back over to where you're spawning, and comb all windows and door for potential enemies.
Hope this helps!
