What's some playstyles (and bad habits) you always fall into?
No matter what, when I play survivor I always end up being so altruistic you'd mistake me for a SWF partner, and it super backfires a LOT. I try gen builds, I try aggressive chase builds, and no matter what I always end up running over to take hits and pick people up just to take their place. I almost never run BT just because I will 100% always bodyblock if I have to go for an unsafe unhook, injured or otherwise. And... Free snowballs? But I can't help it, it's just so satisfying making sure everyone else survives for as long as possible.
Then on the killer side I cannot help but be super aggressive. Screw generators, screw good tactics, if I'm not chasing 3 people at once then I'm doing something wrong. Downtime is my enemy. Got 2 hooks next to each other? I'm probably on the other side of the map, trying to get a third while I blatantly ignoring all the advice I ever give other killers and possibly throwing the game.

Unless my team was toxic or really bad I will never hide for hatch. I will work on gens till the very end. I find hiding for the hatch and waiting for the other guy to die to be pretty pathetic personally.
Unlikely for success but I don't like using a broken mechanic for a free escape.

As killer i will always miss my hits because of dead hard even though i know they have it.
As survivor not healing a lot or spending too much time searching for totems.

Anti-heal as killer, head on as survivor.

Oh Gawd where?
Circles around tree a few time. Grrrr....

I'm gonna find you! I spent too much time looking already to give up now...I'm just gonna slowly turn left to right next time it charges...

Okay! This area..oh there it is!!!! 😄😊
Using my Small Game to find totems can take soooo long sometimes, but I can't give up once I hear it go off...sorry team.
Me and @Eleghost never say never!

As killer, I often prioritize gen regression over possible chases. I often kick waaaayyyy more gens than necessary.

I have absolutely had similar situations. Or worse, when it goes off mid chase and suddenly I HAVE to know where the totem is for later and so I look around for the tiles near me and I see a potential totem spawn but it's on the other side of an object and suddenly Bubba's revving his bloody saw because I ran right past the pallet...

Dude I can so relate to the 2 adjacent hooks thing. I find myself basically always leaving them to look for another Survivor, blissfully ignorant about the fact I have them by the throat right then and there. I can´t even explain why tbh.

I remember spending a good 2 minutes searching for a totem hidden in bushes in yamaoaka map. Still managed to escape and twarth a Noed. If i had givin up we all would have died.
Never give up.
To OP spreading damage as killer. Sometimes getting someone out of the game asap is the better strategy but god i just want to see all survivors injured

I just get bored, like I have killer-specific ADD. I can have as much chill downtime playing survivor (or almsot every other videogame in existence) as the game throws my way, but I cannot stop chasing people as killer. I get all twitchy.

My bad habit is I'll wait to hook survivors as Oni until my power is charged. I'll then stay close enough that I can activate my ability when I see somebody go for the unhook and make it to the hook and down both during the unhooking. It's a bad habit I always fall into if the game isn't going in my favor and I need a snowball.

When there's 3 or less survivors left on the map I start wandering away from gen patrol and just check out the map. Originally it was an attempt to flush out people hiding or people that don't know where the gens are, but I do it a lot and just dropped all pretenses. I like looking at the maps. Fight me.
As survivor I don't hide as much. Yes I KNOW that if the killer doesn't find you, he's wasting time and putting no pressure on the team...but I have a route planned and what if the next person doesn't and goes down in 2 seconds.
*the survivor emerges and waves you over, and clicks the flashlight. You must chase him/her now. It is the law.*

When you run iron will so much you always play like you have even when you don't lol

I do some dumb mind games whenever I use ghostface/pig, like when I'm using my power as ghostface I moonwalk to not show my red stain, or whenever I play pig, I crouch and instead of doing a dash attack I try to get booped mid chase.

Focusing on what's in front of me not what's happening around me
On both killer and survivor

I usually also end up being altruistic. Another bad survivor habit for me is to either go and do all totems and spend the whole game searching for totems and not do anything else. It does not matter if I'm solo or SWF - it always results to the same.
Idk why, but sometimes I offer items to the killer to just run away.
As killer I pretty much do the same as the op. Another situation is when I'm in a chase and it's going well for me... I ruin this for myself the moment I spot someone else, 'cause my attention span is thinner than a thread going through a needle. I start following them and this can easily result in bad results.
If I do bring any Hex perk, I forget they exist and never check on them. RIP all my tries to use Devour Garlic.

As killer, I have a seriously bad habit of getting fixated on the gens. To the point that I'll abandon chases sometimes just because I hear a gen nearby. When I was first learning to play, this was a huge issue -- I was iridescent gen protector, with zero kills most games. Now, it's less of a problem, but I have to be careful not to run too many perks that give me intel on the gens, because I'll want to keep going back to them.
As survivor, I'm not sure yet, but I think my weakness is impatience. I notice that a lot of other people play more cautiously and stealthily than I do -- like, much, much more cautiously and stealthily. I start a lot of matches saying, "This time, I'm going to play a really tight, cautious game," and then, after I hide for 5 seconds, I get so restless that I run straight into danger.

I always end up not camping & not tunneling, even if i know in the moment that it would benefit me to kill all.
I just can't bring myself to do that boring #########.

As a survivor I am still trying to learn to loop well. So I guess I may stay at the same jungle gym too long and go down for it. Still trying to tie jungle gyms together.
As a killer, I like to hunt. I am not really a go back to the hook , killer. (Not judging) But this can often be to my detriment. Like @MadLordJack I will cross the map to get that other survivor knowing I am probably losing a valuable genny, but at least I got the BBQ stack.

As a killer, I can't STAND toxic survivors. You know, that guy who tbags after dropping a pallet on your neck- oohhh, or what about that flash light clicking Jake? When I come across them in game and they do either one of those things, something clicks in my head and that mf'er has GOT to die. F the match, idec if the other survivors escape. It is now my mission to personally escort them to hell. I'll acknowledge that they've triggered me, and that I should just calm down and play the game, but by that point it's too late to stop myself.
As survivor, I play the stealth game. A lot of people find this playstyle boring, but for me, outplaying the killer with stealth is so satisfying. I might be a little too steathy though, because I'll end up being the only one working on a generator the entire match while my teammates are getting downed and on their last hook while I haven't been hooked at all and could have taken a hook or two to help the team survive longer.

This is like saying I personally find Hitler to be a douchebag.
People who hide for hatch are pathetic. They should feel pathetic.
Escaping through hatch is not success -- it's the consolation prize for the hide and seek champion on a losing team.

I will admit i ALWAYS end up forcing a 3 gen, i seriously don't know how or why but my brain has hardwired itself to look for 3 gens on every map and how best to defend and patrol it

Initiating chases as survivor.

I usually end up panicking against trapper in solo queue, but that is about it.

I look behind me too much while getting chased as a survivor. It's generally a good thing to look behind you, but once every few matches I'll miss a vault or get stuck on something because I'm hardly looking in front of me and I make assumptions about what I'm running towards.

I try not to tunnel but if I find the unhooked survivor i go after Him or her first before I find the rescuerer. As survivor I open the exit gates and leave I don't help out, because once that happens your on your own, the killer is desperate and not gonna play nice, plus NOED
