I think we can pivot this thread to something useful if y'all don't mind, because looking at Ranger doesn't show us the 'problem' most people will have, it shows us the 'wrong side'.
The issue here is "Tab Target Gap Closers" and how they work exactly. I think that IF we wanted to discuss a situation where something is affected by a player's skill, it would be those, not some Ranger Basic.
IF a player can Tab Target another, hit a gap closer, and the game autocorrects their target position to wherever the target is when the skill actually goes off, or changes their trajectory as the opponent moves, this is massively different 'skill wise' than not having this option because it entirely changes 'the way in which you dodge these'.
And then we have to question 'does the gap closer effectively turn the user's body into a projectile'?
I think I would have to side with those who say 'This absolutely isn't Action Combat' if there are Tab-Target Gap closers. Now, I don't actually care about this much, but if I had to define 'is a game Action Combat or Tab Target' I would be checking the gap closer skills first.
