Harley was still f***ing crazy before reforming and even admitted in Injustice 2 that she killed a lot of people because she was trying to "impress the wrong guy". E2-Laurel's comment "I owe my freedom to Adrian Chase, in exchange I give him my help" actually reminds me of this. I think E2-Laurel fell under Zoom's influence because he was the first person to show her any care after years of grief, though he probably only recruited her because she can defeat speedsters. Then she gets locked up and feels gratitude towards Prometheus for freeing her, but he only recruited her to torment Oliver.

I'm not saying E2-Laurel hasn't done terrible things but I think she's really just lashing out to fill the void of loss in her heart the same way Oliver does for the people he's lost, difference is she keeps falling under the influence of monsters and needs proper guidance. I really think if she's forced to interact with the doppelgangers of those she loved, her actions have highly implied that she is genuinely sentimental towards Oliver and Quentin, this could make her conflicted enough to be reasoned with. Who says she wouldn't like fighting bad guys more? Star City is also more forgiving towards vigilantes who fight criminals.
