Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Overwatch
Minor spread and matchmaking noise
Rainbow Six Siege
Site rotations only; loadouts deterministic.
Optimization6 vs 6

Overwatch
Team comps, ult economy, and positioning theory
Rainbow Six Siege
Operator picks, gadget placement, and utility usage.
