Apex LegendsvsPuck
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Apex Legends
Movement tech and recoil control gate fights heavily.
Puck
Precise stick angle and body control decide every play
Reads6 vs 6
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Adaptive squads in unpredictable rotations and third-parties.
Puck
Multiplayer rewards selling fakes and predicting human positioning

Loot RNG and ring pulls shape every match.

Apex Legends
Legend synergy, rotations, and inventory routing matter.
Puck
Positioning and angle discipline form a learnable layer
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
