Sara had longer training with the League of Assassins than Oliver did and she also was missing her soul when she was brought back to life. Arrow was trained by Ra's Al Ghul as the heir to the Demon, Sara wasn't. Also, Nyssa has had more training than both of them as a league member, and Arrow still beat her multiple times. He even beat her in Season 2 without league training, so experience doesn't matter much. I'll give another pass cause it seems like the bloodlust makes them stronger than before, but man, he didn't even give her a challenge lol.

Also, last episode, he got owned again by some normal henchmen. I feel like Season 1, 2, and 3 Arrow would have wrecked them all by himself. He also left himself vulnerable to getting shot in the later part of the episode, but Diggles shot the henchman before he could shoot Arrow.

Arrow seems worse in Season 4 with the Ra's training than he did in Season 1, without it. I think they nerfed him to give his partners chances to shine (e.g. Diggles this episode, Thea some episodes, etc.). I thought he'd be better and look much more experienced in Season 4, except when up against Damian Darhk, of course, and other person that are of his calibre.
