Help me with a control scheme for Survivor?

So I've been playing for a while and one big issue I constantly have is I'll crouch while running(I play on PS4). This messes me up in a chase often times. I've tried messing with the controls to separate running and crouching(Run is L1, Crouch is L2, which is causing this issue), but every time I do, something's off majorly. Tried making some stuff X, or O, but the stuff I make those buttons end up feeling awkward because I can't turn my camera while running if it's O or X, and sometimes it's just weird after trying it out even if theoretically it should work correctly.

Does anyone use alternate controls on PS4? If so, could you give me some recommendations? I don't have problems playing Killer on PS4 with their controls but that one issue with Survivor hurts my gameplay occasionally.

    I too had problems when I started playing but I just adjusted to them. I don't know any alternate controls for survivor. So I'd say you just need time to get comfortable with the controls.

    I mean I'm Devotion 1 level 70 right now. It's just that my finger can sometimes slide over L2 while I'm pressing L1 to run. This causes me to crouch while running. I've been dealing with it until now, but I just found out you could change controls after all this time so now I'm wanting to fix the issue.
