Its modified by your hidden ELo and your MMR thats taken into account acroos both normal AND ranked matches. Duo Que and Solo Que I think haev different rules regarding these things so dont take my word right here, but im pretty sure that your MMR is taken out of the equation if your Duo partner is higher, I COULD be wrong though.

I usually gain about 28-32 LP and lose next to none because of how low my spot is in ranked.

At the moment im in Bronze 5 since I didnt take placement matches as seriously as I should have. I had no clue about the revamp to the ranked system, nor did I expect to be placed so low. I thought ya know, losing 5/10 is ok I guess? well evidently not against who I was playing. one of my friends who I play with alot had the same issue as me and has a 50% win ratio but is in silver 2 so that should give you a sense of how varied the system is.

MMR is a very complicated and confusing system considering that we know almost nothing about it. Just remember EVERY MATCH COUNTS. I made that mistake and I regret it dearly.
