I'd say the stats, if anything, show just how bad ass rangers are.

Assassins can fight everywhere well. They can kill in one shot. Yet they still just BARELY beat out rangers.

I don't know how to grep PBFs for specifically assassin/ranger matchups, so no data there.

Orcs and warriors both can faerie fog you provided they aren't villagers. I avoid warriors because rangers have low hp pre-30 and warriors get more attacks. I avoid orcs because rangers have low hp and orcs get the lag + big burst damage.

Running is what rangers do. It's a hit and run class.

Just like the orcs and warriors, despite faerie fog or Mark, you can always choose not to engage in the first place.
