sudo TPK general
They got rid of racial stat penalties in 4e or 5e(I don't remember much about 4e, because I preferred playing MMOs on a computer, not at the tabletop), so the only limit small races have, really, is they can't use "heavy" and "two-handed" weapons, though I believe in 5e they can use one-handed weapons(that aren't light or finesse weapons) as versatile.
Madjick general
There was some remnant of Stat penalty in 4e, but it was reserved for monstrous races. It was mainly just low int for high con/str from what I remember.

Fighters outclass them as bowmen and melee men and rogues outclass them in sneaky shit
In combat, yes, they're outclassed in every aspect, but not all D&D games are focused around combat. Thing is, rangers kinda suck in every aspect in 5e. Combat, skills, archetypes, anything that would make them unique, are just kinda crap.

Favored enemy is just so limiting as a gimmick, the animal companion is the only selling point, which Druid can do in a much more fun way

5e beastmaster ranger is probably the worst class in the 5e core rules.

except that monk is actually the worst class, and rangers are passable because of tasha's
That requires a splatbook. Isn't core rules generally defined as PHB, DMG, and MM?

no one sticks to just core rulebook
Honestly yea, I let my players grab from any official supplement. No reason to force them into a play style since I can just tailor the world around them.
sudo TPK general
Monk can be the worst class, or it can be pretty damn good. It depends what level you start at, what kind of adventure you're running, how dangerous the world is, etc

Unless someone is trying to powergame on the level of Pun-Pun, I allow for pretty much any official splatbook options, but what I'm saying is they shouldn't be that dogshit without core books.

Like Ranger would be badass in a death of magic setting with a lot of woodland travel and requirements for food and water.
Sorry, there's a lot of chat going on that I'm trying to process all at once. I meant that, at level 1, yeah, monk sucks, but if you're starting at a higher level in a campaign(I don't know about you, but I find it very difficult to run a single campaign all the way from level 1 to 20), monk can be very good.

Druid is a better nature boy, fighter is a better combat boy, rogue is a better stealth boy
Facts. That's why I had to specify no magic and I had to put them in their environment. The class blows but in the right campaign they'd be great. A fighter would be useless in strixhaven for example
sudo TPK general
Like how it used to be that magic-users were absolute dogshit for several levels, and fighters dominated, but once you get access to 3rd- and 4th-level spells(permitting you survived that long), your magic-users started DECIMATING the battlefield.
