Not every Olicity shipper is like that but there are too many who are like that.

Yes Laurel was killed off for exactly that reason, there is no point denying it. Marc Guggenheim took over as show runner when season 3 began and since then the show went fully retconned and Olicity went full throttle, when they broke up in season 4, straight away people were gaining hope that Oliver would get with Laurel and then 2 days before shooting episode 18, Katie Cassidy was told then that her character was the one that was being killed off.

No way in hell that is coincidence, it was pre-planned bullshit by Marc Guggenheim to force Olicity
