Age of Mythology: RetoldDota 2
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads7 vs 8
Dota 2 leans harder on reads: Drafts and ganks revolve around adaptive opponents.
Variance5 vs 4
Age of Mythology: Retold leans harder on variance: God power availability and favor generation add opaque randomness
Optimization7 vs 9
Dota 2 leans harder on optimization: Item builds, timings, and lane theory are deep.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
