A hero keeps dying in the same spot right after coming back to life

A respawn point next to a monster or a trap can trap a player in a cycle of deaths, and they quit without saying why. Your AI can read a list of deaths with place and time and name the spots where players died several times in quick succession.

Why this works

Several deaths close together in time and place are rarely bad luck: the spot itself is the problem. Chaining each death to the one before it, by distance and time, finds the chain without having to guess a grid.

When not to use it

In a game where repeated deaths at one spot are the point, such as a hard boss with a close restart, look at the count per player over days instead of in minutes.
