That was before Flashpoint so maybe it changed though lol. I say this because Oliver's whole journey has been about the Balance between the Arrow and Oliver Queen in his life. In season 1 he couldn't do both, in Season 2 he could do it but Sara couldn't, in Season 3 he couldn't do it so he quit being a vigilante, in season 4 he returned but he lost Felicity because of it, in season 5 he dumped susan because she was in too much danger because of oliver, in season 6 he still hasn't found the right balance and he's looking at life in prison.

The way I see it, Oliver is having this inner battle between Oliver Queen and the Green Arrow and I highly suspect that this will eventually cost him his life.
