Season 2 would have been bad regardless of who they casted as Ellie.
I don't think the Ellie part of the game is AS bad as people say it is(It isn't great but it is serviceable especially for an adaptation). However, the writers went in the opposite direction of working with something to try to make it good, and instead took something that already had issues and made it way worse.
I can't wait to see how bad the season 3 is considering how awful the Abby part of the game was. I certainly hope they go all in on the goofy Abby v Ellie bossfight. Although it will be a little more belivable considering Denvers and Ramsey are about the same size, instead of the laughable Ogre v skinny teenager fight we got in the game.
