For me, it was the appearance of plot armor (starting with the end of season 5) that ruined the show.
Up to that point, you had a sense that anyone could die, no matter how important.
Seasons 6+ are full of meh tropes like last-second reversals, people popping out of water when they evidently should've drowned, the impossibly bullshit "blind girl kills trained assassin" moment, the WWE style end of the walkers, etc.

To me, that's just bad. Not rushed.
