Winning 3v5?

I won a ranked 3v5 yesterday and the enemy wasn't even that bad tbh. Our team consisted of 2 afks, and jax yi and lux the only 3 playing. The enemy made a big mistake not to finish early but i think they wanted to drag it on because they assumed they had won. Me and yi just split push so hard with a quick 6 items, whilst lux just held mid using her ult to wave clear so they couldn't effectively siege.

They had to send 2 people on the side lanes to scare me or yi away, and if they wanted to kill us they would have to send 3 as we were so mobile. They couldn't send 3 to both of us and if they gave attention to one of us we would just push the other lane even harder. Lux did a great job tbh, as she was squishy and often had 3 in lane with her trying to dive and she handled it so well not to die and let them take mid, but as soon as yi turret dived morganna killing her and then nearly took our tristana aswell, before just sitting in the enemys base trolling to draw attention. I was given a free lane as jax, i took out an inhib and inhib tower and after that i could take their base no problem. Some champions are actually OP, although they might not be OP in the sense of a team fight or 1v1. Champions like jax, nasus, yi and udyr, are extremely OP in there ability to win games and push insanely hard.

Those champions you mentioned aren't OP. They're just excellent splitpushers, and duelists too for that matter. And the team you played against had no idea how to deal with splitting

Losing against a 5v4 or 3 shows you how important proper rotating is. Some people just don't get it and don't learn from that either. There's no tutorial for learning when your team can handle a fight and you should take another objective solo.

I think we won because we knew we had to push hard and maintain pressure, as in a team fight we would not win, the champions we had on the team would require 2 members of their team to stop pushing, by keeping it that way we had the advantage. I think the enemy team just assumed they would win, they had a lot more kills, and obviously 5 team members, but when all inhibs where down they must have realised lol

I know the champions arent OP but they are in a 1v1 situation, they offer great push and dueling potential which is what we needed
