Axis by axis
Execution5 vs 6
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War leans harder on execution: Squad retreat timing and builder unit micro require practiced hands
Reads7 vs 7
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance4 vs 3
Dead by Daylight leans harder on variance: map, perk, and pallet RNG shapes each trial
