Your end-of-season SR will be the value reached at the updated end of Season 26 next Tuesday, i.e. there are no SR reversions.

If you refer to disconnections or game crashes, please take the time to ...

If you didn’t log in between the expected end of Season 26 and it being re-enabled, you’ll receive your rewards on Tuesday when Season 27 begins! Sorry for the wait.

I would actually point out this is the first time a patch was launched right at the time a main competitive season ended. This is more likely a straight up bug, than any major changes happening. From what I have been told, there are no planned changes for season 27.

While I appreciate the update, what about using twitter to properly communicate those things? Not everybody is following this subreddit and reads every single comment to see an update like this by chance.

Same will be true for Twitter. The Blizzard App has a notification this issue and is our primary communication channel for incidents like this.

Hey everyone!

We’re back with another Experimental mode focused on testing some balance changes. As with all Experimental modes, these changes are not guaranteed to reach the live version of the game. Check out the patch notes here.
