This affects what classes they are suited to and how strong they are when they are those classes. I'd definately place Dwarves, Elves, and Warforged as top tier. Their abilitiy bonus, racial powers, and racial feature are good for almost all the classes. The next tier would be the races are very strong and fit many classes but hav one weak spot. Eladrin and Genasi (stats bonues are don't synergize but powerful powers and features), Halfling (great stats and power but size lowers class usage), and Dargonborn (great feature and power but abilities heavily focuses class option on str based melee). Next would be races that pretty much rely on tricky or special combinations: Half elves, Humans, and Drow.  Half Elves and Human pretty much favor str based classes or multiclassing.  Drow's strength comes all from it's power and darkvision which is good. . Every other races is either very focused (Tiefling's stats, features, and power sticks it to warlords and arcane classes only, Gnolls are all about two handed melee), OR incomplete and broken (the other MM races).</blockquote>
