Dodge rolling and standing too close to a wall, or inside a doorway stops minions from respawning

Too often I've wondered why, if my minions can respawn in less than 5 seconds, they aren't. Like when I have my character stand close to a wall, or inside a doorway, or in a tight corridor, minions won't resurrect. It appears that there is some collision issues when it comes to minions being able to be respawned, like there is a certain space requirement that needs to be fulfilled. On top of that issue, if you are say in a boss fight and you are dodge rolling to avoid projectiles, this movement delays minions from respawning. If you were to be dodge rolling like you are losing a fight in Dark Souls, it delays minions from respawning indefinitely, or at least until you stop dodge rolling and stand still for a second. It's bad enough that bosses can one shot your whole damn minion army with a single attack, but them not being able to respawn, because you are trying to avoid mechanics sucks tremendously.
