Ollie's highest point is probably his death, when he sacrifices himself while saving Metropolis from some nasty explosive thing. He definitely gets the hero's post-death treatment. It should be noted, though, that his self-sacrificed is kind of colored by the knowledge that if he did make it out alive, he'd probably have lost an arm, which isn't okay for an archer. He really defines himself by archery, so he couldn't imagine being armless even for a second, let alone spending the rest of his life like that.
His most... Idk, morally ambiguous moment is probably all the Prometheus stuff in Blackest Night. He's always (since The Longbow Hunters anyway) struggled with the need to fit vigilante justice within a system that really works against it, and how, on a certain level, there's no way to really eliminate crime, let alone supervillains. But the whole idea of actually hunting them down was probably taking it a little far. It's doubly unfortunate because, even following Star City getting destroyed OYL, Green Arrow was its hero and a symbol of hope in a lot of ways. To lose that after the city was destroyed again is just too bad.
