I agree with you on everything except the Felicity needs to go. Honestly during Season 3 she was whiny and annoying and poorly written however this entire "they have ZERO romantic chemistry" thing isn't true the entire reason Felicity is on the show is because the two have chemistry because originally she was supposed to be there for one episode but her and Stephens chemistry was so good that they kept her on the show due to chemistry and popularity and although in the first season she wasn't a love interest in the second season she was most definetly a love interest. In the episode of season two set in Russia he told her  that he couldn't be with someone he truly cared about because of his life as a vigilante that entire speech was directed specifically at her. Then in episode with Olivers Mums sentencing he killed to save her, then the episode after episode 8 he showed clear signs of jealousy when Felicity showed interest in Barry and then again in episode 10 after Felicity left to be with Barry after he was struck by lightning. And in episode 23 of season 2 he admits to loving Felicity and even though it was a ruse he meant it. So they have in fact been building up towards Olicity for sometime. And she may not be a fighter or hero like Oliver's exes but that's the reason they work she makes him happy she connects him to the humanity he thinks he lost on the island and makes him a better person, she urged him to be a hero in Season 1 instead of just a vigilante(the episode with the jewel thief who put bombs on people), she urged him to not kill Slade and instead outhink him and she urged him to fight to live. She is a tether to his humanity and the fact that aall his exes are fighters and damaged means they can't tether him to humanity like she can because they are like him. And her bright techy personality is a sharp contrast to his broody dark personality and even though I enjoy it he needs to become more like Green Arrow and that personality is exactly what will turn him into the humorous, light Green Arrow that we know and love(minus the alcohol addiction).
