So much of what a ranger can do happens in the background: specific buffs, situational crowd control, slows, snares, patch heals, harmony pulls, and so on and on and on...
A good ranger is like the grease that keeps the group lubed.
If you have a smooth group w/a good ranger and the ranger leaves, you'll notice that things hiccup in odd ways.
All that said, a ranger is a fairly difficult class to play well. It's not an easy-mode 'toon.
