Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 7
StarCraft leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Awesomenauts
Platforming aim and skillshots reward dexterity.
StarCraft
APM and micro control ceiling is huge
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.
StarCraft
scouting and predicting human opponent builds
Variance2 vs 1
Awesomenauts leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Awesomenauts
Small map and shop randomness.
StarCraft
minimal hidden info beyond fog of war
Optimization6 vs 9
StarCraft leans clearly harder on optimization.
Awesomenauts
Builds, timings, and push economy solvable.
StarCraft
build orders and economy are near-solvable
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.
