Raynor is a character who fights from a distance, he can also support the allies with a buff that increases attack speed (Inspire). Raynor can also deal AoE damage in a straight line with a Penetrating Round which also pushes the enemies back. Because of Adrenaline Rush, Raynor can quickly regenerate his health when it drops to a very low level. He shortens his skills' cooldown by killing enemies, which might be helpful while attacking enemy base. Raynor can call the Hyperion that will shoot a selected area or ask Banshees for help.

Example of character development:

Level 1 - The character gains 2 attack points for each level.

Level 4 - Increases range of basic attacks by 20% and sight by 10%.

Level 7 - Active skill - Deactivates all control effects and prevents their reapplication for 2 seconds.

Level 10 - Raynor learns Hyperion

Level 13 - Raynor can use E at any moment, cooldown of this skill is reduced by 15 seconds.

Level 16 - Increases attack speed by 40 % and movement speed by 10% for 4 seconds.

Level 20 - Hyperion will shoot more often and will shoot at buildings every 4 seconds.

This set of talents will make Raynor able to deal a lot of damage from a distance (increased AA range). Moreover, because of the ability to deactivate roots and activating E at any moment, he'll be much more effective. Hyperion will get useful for team fights.

Advanced help:

Inspire is very useful for destroying enemy buildings. Remember to activate it as soon as it becomes available. Penetrating Round comes in handy while retreating - pushing the enemy back can give you enough time to escape.
