What makes her different is the fact that Oliver knew how noble Earth-1 Laurel was and therefore what Earth-2 Laurel could be. Laurel-2 is a different person true but she's still a Laurel Lance and she came from a similiar background to Laurel-1 so both Laurels must have been alike at one point. Had she remained on Earth-2 she pobably would have remained a criminal but now she's on Earth-1, where the doppelgangers of everyone she loved and lost are alive and because they knew Laurel-1 are trying to help her. And just like her presence is making Oliver conflicted I think interacting with him more will make her conflicted, as well as Quentin and Sara, and she may be haunted by memories of her own family. Maybe after enough convincing she'll realize that Earth-1 is a chance to start over where there is people who actually care about her, which is probably something she hasn't had for years, and she'll channel her abilities towards criminals instead. She'll still probably be sassy and sadistic but that's why anti-heros are so much fun.
