Lineage 2Star Wars: The Old Republic
Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 5
Star Wars: The Old Republic leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Lineage 2
Auto-attack systems limit individual twitch expression
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Operation combat has moderate GCD management and positional demands

Lineage 2 leans clearly harder on reads.
Lineage 2
Castle sieges and clan PvP demand reading opponent strategies
Star Wars: The Old Republic
PvP warzones feature real adaptive opponents
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Lineage 2
Drop rates and spoil variance are historically brutal
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Gear drop RNG is present but secondary to ability knowledge
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Lineage 2
Class synergies and party compositions for sieges are well-studied
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Advanced class ability rotations and set bonus builds are solvable
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.
