Survivor - Looping skill
Killer - APD and Colorblindness (no, the settings don't fix everything.)

Thanks for mentioning this i'm gonna add something about accessibility settings

As survivor I struggle against killers who are extremely oppressive in chase, such as Xeno or Nemesis. I'm used to a Dead by Daylight where the majority of the killer roster could be looped in the regular manner. That was the way I learned to play DBD, that is gameplay I love.
So if I play against characters who render every tile, pallet and window useless, I don't really know what I am supposed to do.
As killer, I struggle against 360s. I find the sudden change in direction to be very disorienting.

As Survivor- Other Survivors

Killer- Sweaty p100 survivors, its rough, every time I play my main I get teams of these. My own killer weaknesses, sometimes chase if they go to a strong loop.
Survivor- Looping.

As Survivor it's these:
- Flashlight use. I can't aim a beamer to save my life, literally. I think I've maybe gotten about four flashlight blinds in two years and all of them were at pallets or on AFK Killers, or friendly ones helping me do challenges. If I need to blind for a challenge I just throw on Blast Mine and hope for the best.
- I specifically struggle HARD against Killers like Trickster or Xeno, Killers I really cannot do any looping against, they're too difficult for me to handle. But when I PLAY as them I suck and get my entire butt kicked. >_<"
- I keep getting lost on some indoor maps, specifically on Hawkins and Gideon the most. I can navigate them all just fine as Killer, but for some reason the third person perspective trips me up.
As Killer it's these:
- Learning how to lose with more grace. I am way too hard on myself and take Killer way too seriously sometimes, and that's bad because I mostly main Mid tier M1s, and my primary Killer main Ghostface isn't exactly the strongest.
- I badly struggle with M2 Killers in general; I am so used to M1ing and mindgames I can't do much when I have TWO cooldowns to worry about if I miss. I mean I haven't gotten nearly a single one to work for me. About the only two I have ever figured out and gotten results with are Pinhead and Nemesis - and Pinhead really isn't much of an M2 Killer, he's a glorified M1 with a fancy hindering tool and some basekit slowdown.
- I can't run speedy or dash Killers. Just can't. Legion is about as fast as I can stand. They either make me nauseous, or they feel so slippery on controller I can't make them function and just make a fool of myself. I've never made Wesker, Blight, or even Billy function for me.
