Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Overwatch leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Overwatch
Hero aim, movement, and ability timing
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Hero ability activation and squad retreat timing are mechanically demanding

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 II
Opponent army composition and hero focus must be predicted
Variance2 vs 4
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II leans clearly harder on variance.
Overwatch
Minor spread and matchmaking noise
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Retreat damage, wargear drops, and map control variance add uncertainty
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Overwatch
Team comps, ult economy, and positioning theory
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Wargear builds and ability upgrade sequences are optimizable
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.
