Does a ranked game failing to start penalize you?

So I figured I'd try my ranked promos, unfortunately champ select crashed after everyone locked in. The game specifically told me that the game crashed and to restart the client. I did and then checked my summoner profile. Apparently I know had 0 wins 1 loss listed under my ranked preliminaries.

So am I being punished here for the game screwing up? Or is this just some weird glitch or the like?

It depends on how harshly it failed to start, I've had times when the game died so hard that there was no trace of it anywhere and it was as if it never existed (and so there was no loss or harm to my mmr or anything).

In this case it sounds like it did register as a loss though, so you probably did lose MMR as a result of the game messing up, which is inevitably frustrating.
