From my FAQ, if you are a new player or even new to ranked games it might be helpful:
A. Your ELO is essentially your rating. It is determined by your win/loss ratio and how many games you have played. In normal queue your elo is hidden from yourself and others, but the matchmaking system still uses it to decide your opponents. In ranked games your elo is there for the world to see.

Thanks to Minho for my sig!
It's not determined by your wins/losses (please correct me if you have the facts tho). You gain elo depending on the combined elo of your team and the enemy team. If your team has higher you gain less/lose more and if it's lower you win more elo/lose less.
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.
I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817
