Smite
Third-person skillshots raise the aim floor.

Team-fight cooldown trading is prediction
Smite
Jungle invades and ganks require opponent modeling.
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Heroes of the Storm
Map objectives and merc camps vary
Smite
Buff timers and minor RNG only.

Smite
Builds, relics, and rotations are theorycrafted.
