I don't know if you guys are aware, but Ares in the film was massively nerfed, the guy was supposed to crack spacetime. I don't why they chose to have him weaker, but ultimately, nerfing him means nerfing Diana.
Here's a link to the concept artist who explains it:

You can check his other Ares concept here:

These ideas are not that bad.
If it was for me, the soldiers in the village would have been enhanced with Maru's gas, WW would have faced a bigger challenge. Then Luddendorf would have benefited from a stronger version of the gas and the fight would have happened in an open setting, not in a small space. All of that with better hand to hand choreography.
Then Ares appears in his intangible form, they fight, she unleashes her full godly powers, she attacks him by flying and so on, but Diana comes to realizes that he is a concept, an idea, brute force won't work. So she defeats him by opposing him her ideas.
Of course you need exceptionnal CGI for this to work and we all know that CGI was not that good in this movie.
