Civilization V
UI actions need no precision; speed is not a factor
Teamfight Tactics
No mechanical inputs of note
Reads2 vs 3
Teamfight Tactics leans a little harder on reads, though the gap is small.
Civilization V
AI follows scripted personalities, not genuine player modelling

Variance5 vs 7
Teamfight Tactics leans clearly harder on variance.
Civilization V
Random starts, barbarian spawns, and goody huts create hidden unknowns
Teamfight Tactics
Shop rolls and augment offerings swing lobbies
Optimization9 vs 9
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Civilization V
Hex placement, social policies, and victory routing are fully solvable
Teamfight Tactics
Econ curves, positioning, and comps are near-solved
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.
