It takes your mmr and then adds a flat mmr to that, then halves the sum of your previous mmr and the flat amount, then your placement matches will test if you just got lucky in s3 and suck in s4 so you are demoted, or if you are great in s4 and deserve a promotion, this is a great opportunity for people who were placed in bronze to get out.

(at least this is what i think,, no actual facts behind it,,,)

I would like to vehemently disagree. This game has great potential for promotion once you are out above silver 4. In Bronze every game there is a troll, DC/afk, bad players. I feel like the consequences of certain actions in ranked should be dealt with more aggressively. As of right now I don't like playing ranked because of the people that play ranked to ruin everyone else's fun.

Hate to break it to you, but there are DC/afk and troll issues in every division. I've seen Diamond and Challenger games that were played 4v5 because a player just left the game early in laning phase. That sort of behavior and bad players aren't limited to Bronze.

It takes your MMR, adds a flat 1200 (I believe) to it, then divides that by two, and then your provisionals are judged accordingly. So if you were Bronze and won against Silver, you're likely to be raised up. If you were Diamond and lost to Silver/Gold compositions (who may have been gold/plat before the reset), you'll likely drop down to their mmr.

Hope this helps.
