You are halfway there with the addition of Classic Mode. What we really need is a mode that gives us access to Overwatch in the state it was in just before Overwatch 2 launched, which is a completely different state than true vanilla Overwatch. I mean damn, in true vanilla, Junk doesn’t even get his second concussion mine. 
No fun. We need Overwatch Classic, but a lot less vanilla, pretty please?

I believe each week will indeed feature a different patch of game, if I read the dev post correctly. They mentioned the moth meta patch and goats patch, for sure.

According to A Blast to the Past Begins with Overwatch: Classic - News - Overwatch
“Each Overwatch: Classic event will feature heroes and balance from popular moments in the game’s history”
Followed by “In the first Overwatch: Classic event, we’re taking it all the way back to the original 1.0 release”
And the post ends with “While we’re not planning for this to be a single event, we will be measuring player response to inform our future plans.”
So basically, it was their swan song. Either folks are disappointed by Overwatch 1.0 and thus, the devs can just refer to this event whenever someone complains…
…or it just shows everything wrong with Overwatch 2.
It’s up to the gamers now.
The entire event will be 1.0
If you want more, this event needs to be a success.

Oh, sweet. Yeah, like they should just make it a revolving mode like TDM, in fact just give us a game mode menu where we can select any game mode we want to play whenever we want to play it. Hmm.
Well according to blizzard there’s been an “overwhelming demand for it” to the point where they actually extended the date for it.
So… good signs all around tbh.
We need to experience all three versions in a row.
I just want my second concussion mine… lol
Naw, but this is an extremely small complaint. I’m just happy we have the mode right now.
