Jungle invades and ganks require opponent modeling.
Variance4 vs 3
Dune: Awakening leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Dune: Awakening
Resource node spawns and sandstorm timing create meaningful hidden variance
Smite
Buff timers and minor RNG only.
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Dune: Awakening
Base building, crafting chains, and ornithopter routes are solvable
Smite
Builds, relics, and rotations are theorycrafted.
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.
