I think you are overestimating Ruby and Blake... and underestimating Ren/Nora/Pyrrha and Neptune/Sun.

Blake may have real world experience... but against opponents stronger than she is she mostly seems to have played the distraction/assassin of the weak, and her training may not be as complete as Pyrrha's. Pyrrha was trained to be the best and stayed on top... she probably knows how to be as ruthless as Blake was... and Blake was proving she had a morale line she won't cross when she left the WF.

Ren has been repeatedly shown to take on hard targets... which are not his weapons specialty... SMG's with sharp blades are made for cracking shields/aura... not Armor on grimm... we have yet to see him against his preferred enemy... hunters/creatures with aura.

Nora we have yet to see break a sweat against... anything... though she is quite likely not a speed fighter.

Sun and Neptune have yet to be shown in much of any serious combat... except when Sun decided to cover Blake and did about as well as she did, and when they attempted to slow/corner the Paladin, pretty much succeeded, and left after they saw RWBY had it covered.
