Command & Conquer: Generals
Supply drop timing and unit special abilities require precise activation
Team Fortress 2
Projectile aim and rocket jumps reward hands
Reads7 vs 7
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Command & Conquer: Generals
Three-faction asymmetry and general powers must be predicted constantly
Team Fortress 2
Spy/sniper duels are pure prediction
Variance2 vs 3
Team Fortress 2 leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Command & Conquer: Generals
Supply depot placement is map-fixed; minimal in-game RNG

Command & Conquer: Generals
General power sequencing and unit composition are well-solvable
Team Fortress 2
Class loadouts and map routes solvable
