They did explain in Last Jedi that killing his father mentally broke him, instead of being the intended completion of his training, and that's why he lost to an amateur.
Most of Rey's ability can be attributed to surviving on her own on a harsh, combative world. Luke said that her and Kylo both have unatrually strong affinity for the force, and I'm guessing we'll learn more about that in the final film. Wouldn't be surprised if she was actually a skywalker, and the "your parent's were no one" was only true "from a certain point of view".
So yeah, never really bought into Rey as a Mary Sue. Plenty of other problems with the movies though.
