Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 6
Overwatch leans clearly harder on execution.
Overwatch
Hero aim, movement, and ability timing
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Squad retreat timing and builder unit micro require practiced hands

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Overwatch
Ult tracking, flanks, and baiting human teams
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Opponent chapter choice and rush timing must be predicted

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Overwatch
Minor spread and matchmaking noise
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Relic capture variance and squad reinforcement timing add uncertainty
Optimization6 vs 7

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Requisition node priority and tech tree builds are well-studied
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.
