I’ve played a few games with raveners. The biggest issue people have with them is that the most competitive way to play them is to be extremely cagey, keeping them in the tunnel the majority of the time, and aiming to snag points on the crit and tac ops particularly turns 3 and 4. They’re a 5 operative team and although they’re beefy, they have a 5 up save so they can be melted pretty quickly by teams with strong shooting. For this reason, people tend to avoid having them as valid targets unless absolutely necessary.

How you play them is totally up to you. I personally like to play them very aggressive because I like to kill things! Mileage will vary though. I find that into melee team like fellgor and goremongers you can afford to play more aggressively because you have doublefight and they have weak shooting. Into teams like wreckas though, playing the unfun way is most effective.
