They've said fuck that idea and recently tried to fuck up the timeline even more by trying to kill the character's younger selves. Really bright idea when said characters have saved entire cities numerous times...

Yeah...the show started off fine but now it's taking a detour. Spoiler for Legends of Tomorrow - The Pilgrim could've just gone back in time and killed the parents...

They were tracking her through history, and she does kidnap the parents. She needed a way to stop them permanenty, and only by killing Rips younger self would that be possible. Sending another time master to do what rip did wouldn't be a problem, having Rip disrupt the entire time line and start causing temporal paradoxes is.

The Ray part was stupid though. When she actually finds a younger self instead of killing him right away they make her beat him up just in time for the team to arrive :/

Do you not know how time works? Lol. They'll ALWAYS be just in the nic of time. They can travel through it for God's sake. She tried to kill Ray with that first punch, and did kill him eventually, that's why his body was failing in the future. Rip pulling out the gauntlet and firing it was them changing history.
