Does Hidden Normal (Draft) Game MMR affect INITIAL Ranked Placement MMR in the Preseason ?

Basically, if your account has no Ranked games played on it this preseason yet, will playing Normal (Draft) mode games increase or decrease the initial Ranked Game placement series' (10-game) MMR; similarly to how one's rank during the preseason affects their normal season's initial ranked placements, respective to winning/losing of course ?

Is there a way to increase your preseason ranked MMR before doing the initial 10 placements ?

No there isnt.

All the queues MMRs are seperate. Once you start placements you get a baseline S4 MMR, which is about 1250 MMR. That's about where you start. Then from there it's how you play.
