Should Traits - Like those in Junkenstein's Revenge - Become A Permanent Part of Overwatch 2?

Ah, #JunkensteinsRevenge - what a #GameMode
It's a #Deathmatch #Arcade mode with a narrow selection of #Overwatch2 heroes for each role, and you get 2 Perks or Traits to start the game, plus an additional one (and an optional Discard and Swap) per game round.
No Hero switching, but some pretty cool bonuses and wild matchups.

I’ve really been enjoying the traits as well. One of the things that’s pulled me out of my couple month break from OW2. This mode is so much more fun than normals imo, I love RPG’s, progressions, and minmaxing character builds. I appreciate that this mode accepts that everything will get (or has the potential to get) overpowered, so it’s relatively balanced in that sense (i.e if everyone’s op then ezpz). I really hope they either make this mode a permanent option or implement traits into the game somehow. I also think both things this gamemode has are things Blizzard has been wanting to try and implement in OW2 (not being able to swap to counter pick, and having options for upgrades for characters), so I have hope that they will find a way to implement these (I personally think they go hand in hand).

its def a fun mode and should be added to non comp play modes full time for sure. But it couldnt be added as a comp playlist because of the randomness, losing games/rank do to bad luck would be bad. But it could be added in to a better pve/p mode they could keep around in the future as well. Alot they could do with it outside Comp.

Do you think it could be a balanced enough mode for competitive play? Not necessarily as-is, but with a more tightened up/curated mode?

@casualdadgames not really sure how without compromising competitive integrity. Losing a high end match and rank do to getting worse perk choices the enemy would not be good. If they gave the same perks per round that would balance things. But then there would always be the "best" options making them cookie cutter builds eventually, taking away from what makes it fun. They could do a competitive mode that's taken less serious like open queue but then ur further splitting player base. So I'm really not sure how it could fit in comp even tho it is fun
