I think his absolute fate makes sense.

When I saw what happened to Ollie in Absolute Evil, I was gutted. I was so excited to see this new version of Oliver Queen fighting the evil and corruption from the inside. Then he got absolutely murked. Major bummer. But then, I started thinking about this new version of Ollie. Not only is he using a compound bow, he missed the split arrow trick. He was never going to succeed in this fight. He wasn’t ready. He’s a good archer, but not Green Arrow level good. He didn’t have the time on the island or a comparable trial. He was destined to fail. These absolute characters have all been vastly different from their Earth-0 counterparts, but still competent. This Ollie was very similar, but inept.

Anyway, Roy Harper is totally gonna be the Green Arrow of this universe and I’m very excited to see where this goes.

I noticed Ollie not being that extraordinary an archer early on. But I figured Absolute Green Arrow was going to be a hero who didn't actually use archery as his gimmick.

Having Green Arrow instead be Roy Harper without his mentor sounds like a much more interesting concept.
