Nope, you can dodge without it counting as a loss.

It might drop your hidden MMR by a bit but no. Doesn't count as a loss.

Nope it doesn't affect your MMR in the least.

You don't really know that because there's no actual public MMR data. It is true that as your placements go on, your MMR changes as you win/lose. You don't start Placements at Gold V and end at Gold V. If you win your first game, you'll be placed with more Gold III, and if you lose, it will slide to Silver I. by the end of your placements you could have slid from Gold V clear down to Silver V teams.

If dodging affected your hidden MMR then people would be able to dodge all the way into bronze 5 mmr which would be very abuseable Which is why it doesn't

No. Because there's a thing called Leaver buster and increasing time penalties. After 2 Dodges, you're eligible for Ban tiers for dodging per day. By the time you dodged down 1-2 tiers, you'd be perma banned.

Uh, you don't get that sort of punishment from dodging.

You can dodge all day long the only punishment you will get is 30 minutes wait between queueing up right after your dodge. (Starting at 5 min and raising to 30 after dodging 2-3 times).

No I have been around sinceway before the League system was even implemented. MMR is just the old system we used to call elo but hidden from sight. You don't lose elo/mmr for dodging.

Dodge as you wish, it affects nothing.

They may not count as a loss but you will I repeat you will loose mmr it will effect your placement. Op.gg showed on my 2nd game I would be placed in s3 I dodged checked mmr and it said I would be placed bronze1.
