Olicity? No. It's dragged down the quality of the show this entire season so far. (I'm mostly referring to the suggestions toward it in the show since obviously Felicity and Ray have been together)
Felicity was once one of my favorite characters on the show. Now it just seems she exists purely for relationship drama.
Also, I feel like lot of people are dismissing/ignoring/failing to recognize that the Dinah/Ollie relationship had just as much baggage to their relationship in the comics.
BC/GA were always an on-again/off-again thing with plenty of interpersonal conflicts and drama until GA popped the question and even after that there were still problems.
I stand firmly in the camp that Green Arrow and Black Canary should always be a thing, not unlike Superman/Lois (I absolutely despise the Supes/WW pairing. It's so unnecessary and forced down our throats), Hal/Carol, Barry/Iris, Wally/Linda, etc.
These are relationships that are as iconic as the characters themselves
I feel for Olicity much the same way I feel about Supes/WW.
The funny thing is, the producers agree on how iconic Dinah and Oliver are:
Arrow: Andrew Kreisberg Talks About The State Of Oliver & Laurel
Kreisberg appealed to the iconic comic book pairing as being like Lois and Clark they can break up, get together, sleep together, break up, get married, get divorced, she forgives him, he points out but he did admit that with the success of the show, Lauriver is one of those things that they can take their time on.
Having Oliver and Laurel get together in Season 1 was what people needed then, but then they needed them to go on a break, so Oliver can have his storyline with Sara for this season, which is what felt right to us. He has women in his life. He has Laurel, he has Felicity Helenas doing a 10-to-20 stretch so I think that Laurel will always be one of the closest people to him, whether thats romantic or not, Andrew continued.
Kreisberg is well aware that some fans have questioned decisions and the sanity of the folks bringing Arrow to life, and that inevitably, some fans will be upset, but there is a plan. I think that a lot of the things that we have done, have been leading up to what were doing in the finale, and then moving that forward to Season 3, he said.

The problem is many people can't accept Laurel being with Oliver after he slept with her sister, which is understandable, but stranger things have happened so...
Now, if Oliver and Felicity become a stable couple for a while, then Laurel will have to be with someone else, she's not going to remain single for long. But if the producers really feel Laurel & Oliver are like Lois & Clark, then something must break up Oliver and Felicity, like she wanting a normal life, a family, but maybe Oliver doesn't want to have kids or stop being Green Arrow... they don't have to kill Felicity off for it to happen nor have him sleeping around again, that would be the easy way out.
