Damien was the shining beacon in the dull season 4. His only downside was he didn't have any personal connections to Team Arrow. Tgat's why he worked better as a Legends villain because now he did have personal connections with killing Laurel, plus his theatericalness works better with the silliness found on LoT rather than the grim and dark Arrow.
