spawn-killed
Died upon appearing
Spawn-killed describes being killed in a video game immediately upon respawning—the moment you reappear after dying, you're killed again before you can act.
The term captures a frustrating cycle where opponents camp spawn points to rack up easy kills: I got spawn-killed three times in a row.
Extended to any situation where you're defeated before you can begin.
