I have to agree with this threads consensus. Ranger combat abilities are fixed. They work now. But their out of combat features are still pretty much entirely dm fiat and broken because of it. I will say this isn't exclusively a ranger issue. They just have the worst of it. Exploration pillar is basically hand wavey bs in 5e. None of the abilities are integrated well into gameplay. And the classes flavored around this suffer as a result. Ranger is THE explorer. So they get screwed hardest.
