Everyone keeps talking about how weak Ren is and how he doesn't have much Aura........

The guy manifested an energy sheild that could stop a king taijitu (using aura if we assume the overlayed dialogue from Pyrrha was directly realted). I don't think we've seen any of the other 1st yrs do something like that assuming that it's not a semblance thing?

But what I see as more important was how during the JNPR v.s BRNZ fight he incapacitates one enemy while distracting the sniper who from the start had been his teams biggest obstacle. In a matter of seconds and without firing a shot (I think?) he esssentially prevents 1/2 the enemy from fighting and sets up the situation for Nora to suprise grenade the sniper from their vantage point. Tactics

Fight scenes are cool and all, but it would be awesome to see Ren matched up against some OP enemy and just be like "hmmm" and shoot the chandelier/overhanging rocks ending the fight.
