Axis by axis

Execution5 vs 4

Outriders leans harder on execution: Cover shooting and ability timing matter

Reads1 vs 1

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance3 vs 2

Outriders leans harder on variance: Loot rolls gate the build chase

Optimization7 vs 7

Even - both lean on optimization about the same.

Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
