Hard ARPG with no death log?

Hi

Pros:
I'm having a blast so far with the game, trying to do my thing without external guides and whatnot.
I'm getting the "hard vibe"

Con:
The very reason why i'm writting this is because it's infuriating to die and die again if you don't know what's killing you.
-This dark / purple looking spell ? oh i don't know, physical, chaos ? maybe fire ?
-You have 30 enemies around you, you have 3 or 4 spells active making a screen mess and then a oneshot ? no clue from where

the death log has been asked for years. to my knowledge you are not opposed to it, so what's going on ?

Cool game so far, but this one is bothersome

At least a death log like in Last Epoch would be cool
dead simple fix would be to give us different colored damage indicators and the ability to turn them on/off
I don't know what is simple or not to implement. I'll just argue about what I think the game is missing and why.

Ideal scenario from my perspective:
-log of the last 5 sec before I died.
-knowing what buffs / debuffs were applied on me and my enemies
ex: was I under -50% fire exposure? was my armor reduced?
Did my enemy "Crit" and was he buffed with "250% critical damage bonus"


Why do I think this is the best solution ?

-it's an IN GAME tool
(to learn and gain knowledge about the game mechanics, the bosses etc.)
-Dying to things you don't understand is frustrating, but it's ok if you have a way to improve and learn.
-We'll have access to data after being killed: take a breath, pause and look at the numbers
-Having information to modify build and work on upgrades:
Because I may not care about the 300 fire damage, but then I get cursed, fire exposure, -max res, enemy crits, more crit damage bonus and suddently it's a 2000 dmg hit. With an actual log explainging than, then i'll think: hey let's get reduced damage from crits, or work on curse reduction, or maybe overcap my resistances.
-Not relying on build guides so much
Because we'll have more tools to make our own.
This will also help with build diversity

They implemented a lot of explanation in the game with keywords on abilities, equipment etc, I see the log being an even more "mandatory" feature to understand what's going on.
