Awesomenauts
Platforming aim and skillshots reward dexterity.
Splatoon
Aim, swim-form movement and ink management are constant demands
Reads6 vs 6
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Awesomenauts
Human opponents adapt lanes and picks constantly.
Splatoon
Human opponents adapt flanks and pushes every match
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Awesomenauts
Small map and shop randomness.
Splatoon
Hidden squids in ink create momentary information gaps
Optimization6 vs 5

Awesomenauts
Builds, timings, and push economy solvable.
Splatoon
Weapon kits, map control timing and gear builds reward study
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.
