First of all marineford is not worse than wano. Wano is disasterclass the absolute worst of one piece as of now.
Second many people regard marineford as the greatest one piece arc of all time but I always call it midford. The powerscaling was atrocious. Like you said nothing really happened and luffy had an insane amount of plot armor. I always say marineford has only 3 good moments: Luffy V Garp, Ace's Death and Koby standing up to Akainu. The rest was pretty much bleh.
Third i started reading one piece at a time where i was part of the naruto forums and there were a lot of naruto cultists. Nearly all of them called OP garbage and i felt like if i started reading/watching it would be cheating my beloved tribe/series. Plus i was like 14-15 at the time so i did not know better. After i watched/read one piece and experience alabasta and water 7 and enies lobby i was in AWE of the series. Unfortunately after Water 7 the series slowly died and the things i point out that make one piece bad became more and more prevalent.
I do not even know why i'm reading anymore. The fight with Zoro V King left me speechless in a dark pit of despair. Oda will give Mihawk and other characters i have high hopes for the same treatment. I just do not know what I am expecting anymore seriously.

I started OP during Zou arc and the first thing I noticed was how Luffy and crew wasted time fighting some fishes on their way to Wano. And later, Reiju came in to save Luffy from poison (remember Chopper was with them, he did not prepare an antidote > World's best Dr wannabe).
Now imagine Naturo coming back after Sage training and encountering some monkeys and he spend days fighting them 😂
On the other hand, how the hell Shanks appeared out of nowhere in Marineford. This is shit tier writing. Like one Mod said here, OP has been like this for past 2 decades. What else can you expect?
