They are fighting in a hot, desert climate. They would get cooked alive in full armor.

In essos there is mostly desert so their formations can hold their own there hence the recognition . Still I believe that for the sake of plot while they suck today they will start being good in westeros

Imho the only way I see that happening is in case of a timeskip . Don't know if it will be done in the show , but I am farily confident that it will happen in the books .
The time when your elite mercenaries (who were so badass that their owner wanted the payment of dragons for them lol) are so inequipped to protect you that you close your eyes and give up, dreaming that your long estranged baby dragon will come and save lol
Khaleesi literally brought 25 soldiers with her as escort. Suddenly 500 allahuakbars with masks appear, soldiers manage to keep her alive, make a circle around her, don't let 500 allahuakbars get near her, kill off some of them heavily outnumberd. I don't understand what ppl expected them to do.
The Sons of the Harpies are also consisting of former pit fighters, they're not just some random rich guys.
Although I still have major problems with the whole fight choreography, as I did with the scene where Barristan died.
And I know that that's seriously fucked up, but Stannis did the right thing. It's a classic trolley dilemma, and he's chosen to save the many.
Keep in mind of course that the visions have shown him and Melisandre that he is the oly one able to save Westeros from the White Walkers. He's not doing what he's doing for glory or power, but because he has every reason to believe that it's the only way to save the whole freaking continent. And in contrast to Ramsey for example, who tortures dozens of people for shits and giggles, or Roose and most other Westerosi leaders, who don't really give a fuck about all the harm they inflict on others, Stannis was shown to be extremely conflicted and pained by his decision. He hates himself for it, but from everything he knows, it had to be done.

And she just leaves Jorah, Tyrion & Co. behind
Btw, that's number 256 on the list of usually fatal situations Tyrion has survived due to pure luck or wonky reasons.
