I feel you can generally call how a game will go in 5 minutes

I've been playing jungle for about 4 seasons now but it hasn't been until this season that I've been able to generally anticipate how a game will play out at the 5-minute mark. Rarely have I played a game this season that someone at the 5-minute mark has not died. Usually, if a person goes 0/3 in lane within 5 minutes on whichever team that team usually loses because that laner will cost them throughout the game. I'm just curious as if anyone else feels like this. I'm not trying to be toxic or negative just want to know if anyone else feels the same.

90% of games are decided within the first 10 minutes. Of those about 70% are decided by 5 minutes. It always astonishes me that people are only now starting to catch on to this. It has been this way since season 8.

if theres someone who dies early i feel the game is over i mean if they are that bad before 5 min im pretty sure i know how the game is gonna go. there are some comeback chances more likely then not there isnt though. so if games end this fast where snowballing is that stupid why dont they make a wayyyy early surrender (i dont mean remake) when it becomes one sided destruction like 0 vs 8 example or something.

Well if your an early game jungler and are 0/2/0 at 5 minutes, the game is basically over. You've already been outscaled by the enemy jungle and can't fight them, you have to just hope your lanes carry.

It's more because this is the season that FF at 15 has become more prevalent

That just comes with experience.
