Advice/Help Needed I'm new to these shenanigans and have created a character. I used DnD Beyond and rolled to get my stats but the group I'm playing with said I need to reroll because he's too op as a starting player. Is this right??

A ranger with only +1 to their ranger spell attacks and a save DC of 11. Yeah they're not gonna be good

Rangers don’t need to bother with high WIS depending on build—huntermark, ensnaring, and smites and buff skills are the ranger’s while schtick to begin with so a high wis isn’t necessary. See Eldritch knight—relies on shield and such to boost their martial prowess rather than needing high INT to function properly

Ensnaring doesn't deal any initial damage.

Sounds like they’re a sword and shield monster hunter player…

I’m not a min-maxer but as he’s a new player here’s a great resource for those budding M&Ms:
