Heroes of the Storm
Team-fight cooldown trading is prediction
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Opponent chapter choice and rush timing must be predicted
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
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Relic capture variance and squad reinforcement timing add uncertainty
Optimization7 vs 7

Heroes of the Storm
Talent picks and team comps deep
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Requisition node priority and tech tree builds are well-studied
