Let Blizzard make a mode that is based entirely on the lore of the game, separate from the standard one where the character stats change. This will be a stable mode that never changes, which can be made either temporary or permanent, just like the random heroes mode. Some of the characters’ abilities can be changed to make the mode feel even more fresh. Thoughts?

I think what you’re describing is the now defunct promise of overwatch PVE story missions. Lore, character development, changing abilities, everything you’ve said is unfortunately never going to happen because the ow team decided that it wasn’t important enough as the sub par battle passes, game modes, expensive skins, and rushed patches.

Isn’t this just PVE?

maybe there is something similar to pve, but it should be a pvp mode that just exists without any balance changes every season. This mode is simply based on the lore of the game, how strong each character is

Sounds like a story-mode based on the heroes abilities?
like pvp mode with lore-based characters power

So basically you’re asking for Archives event with the pve ability change system. As far as I know and what I’ve seen, we won’t get anything like this at all. They’ve totally given up on anything that isn’t monetizable. Don’t get your hopes up. But I do agree we need to have more modes or cinematics or comics and whatnot that gives us lore. We barely have any lore for half the established characters from the release of overwatch 1, then barely anything for the heroes added over time and then heroes from overwatch 2. They have so much time to cover that goes up to “present day” in overwatch 2 (whatever that is, im assuming any date around the released story missions we did get)

maybe there is something in the fact that it will be like Archives, but no. This is a pvp mode that will not change in any way in terms of balance changes. The strength of each character will depend on the lore of the game, but at the same time there will be nothing plot-related here. Just the balance of characters that is based on the lore of the game. As for abilities, I meant that most of the characters were somehow changed specifically, giving new or changing existing abilities.
I’ve been saying for a long time that they should have a lore based PVP mode. So I fully support this idea

Hmmm… let’s see
Tracer can recall to 5 minutes earlier.
Bastion has a PTSD ability that enables friendly fire.
Junkrat can destroy the payload with explosives.
Reinhardt has no barrier and is always feeding.
Hanzo can never hit a shot.
What else?
So I just pick Reaper and never lose? Sounds good to me.
erm… monke will boom u with not working shield
Wont die to it though, so I can just come back later
