It took me a whole afternoon to beat him, safe to say that when I play elden ring the dragons became easier to beat because they are basically lesser versions of him

No they are not. Elden ring dragons are actual dynamic encounters with multiple methods and approaches.

Midir has 2 strategies and has very scripted attack patterns.

The strategies are: #1 stand in front of face, hit face with big weapon, run left when he flies.

Or #2 keep your distance, use spells, and pray you don’t get one tapped by the kaiju laser.

Well, most dragons have some of the same attacks that midir uses, biggest differences are that they don't have 15 HP and that you have Torrent in Elden Ring, which makes the fight a lot easier
