Is that they don't screw up Oliver/Laurel anymore then they already had. Because Olicty is pairing that is screwed up due to the writing, not the actual pairing of Oliver and Felicity.
Imagine it being Laurel walking out on Oliver in 4x15 at his lowest point after breaking off their engagement and complaining she wasn't included with anything William related?
Imagine Laurel being the one to constantly undermine Oliver's authority as Team leader or say Oliver and Laurel ran off together at the end of season 3, but Laurel kept secretly checking in behind Oliver's back. Like if the whole Ray thing with building The Atom suit was Laurel helping Ray then lies to Team Arrow when Diggle asks her if she knows anything about who the guy is in the new Atom suit.
Or like say if Laurel joins up with a terrorist organization and betrays everybody on the Team then helps a terrorist leader escape but gets taken back in to Team Arrow with zero consequences and is never arrested for her crimes. Plus all the stuff like in the 4x06 where it's Laurel who mentally abuses Oliver?
You would have Laurel and the Oliver/Laurel with being disliked just as much. Or look at Barry and Iris over on The Flash, the Barry/Iris relationship melodrama and how Flash has now more of became revolved around Iris being the central focus instead. Mind the focus on Iris is not as bad as Felicity and such but still not the best either. Andrew and Greg would have screwed up Oliver/Laurel and well Laurel as well, like they have done on The Flash.
Sure maybe the upcoming Arrowverse crossover would have a double Barry/iris and Oliver/Laurel wedding instead of Olicty wedding, if the rumors are true but still you would have the same problem that you would with Olicty.
Of course maybe being Oliver/Laurel all of the issues would be just brushed under the rug because it would be "It's the comic pairing, Oliver/Laurel can do no wrong. They fit together because it's the comics pairing, you can't argue with the source material."
So bottom line, if they wrote Oliver/Laurel, Oliver/Sara or Oliver/Helena or any other Oliver/woman pairing the way they have done Olicty or Barry/Iris over on The Flash, I would find the same exact issues with it.
The entire Arrowverse needs new writers because at the end of the day that's where the ultimate problem lies.
