I think you're utterly ignoring the real world meanings of the word "ranger". Such as Forest Rangers and Army Rangers. Who are wilderness specialists who get on with very little magic and a lot of knowledge and training.
Indeed it doesn't. Which is why we're bringing in examples like Katniss Everdeen. You on the other hand are refusing to accept that the ranger is based on anything other than D&D as it has existed since 2014. There is more to both fiction and reality than a single minded focus on the current edition of D&D while going out of your way to strain out any outside influences, whether from earlier editions, whether from what the class was based on, or whether from almost contemporary fiction.
In the end all you have left is navel gazing and mechanics if you don't accept anything from outside D&D for a class based on an archetype that actually came from the real world.
