Moira was just a jerk, Shado's death more or less just accelerated Slade's evilness, and Robert's death wasn't the catalyst for Oliver becoming the Arrow, it was the boat being blown up.

Actually, Robert's is the far more important death, as he gave his son that list. Despite death affecting the characters in early seasons. Now nobody has died as of Season 3. Nobody important anyway.
