Percent chance to win after taking a pre 15 and pre 20 minute Inhibitor

We all know the percent chance to win games after taking first inhib is supposed to be abount 90-92%. Now that statistic is just general and in most situations the team ends because they are drastically ahead and the first inhib had nothing to do with that win. So when, lets say top lane, is trading 1 for 1 but is a ranged champ and manages to get an inhib fairly quickly, around 15 minutes, does that actually decrease the chance to win the game. Getting an inhib funnels increased gold and exp to the enemy and if your team is not actually ahead, it would be detrimental to take inhib then. This is why I would like to know whether the % chance to win is above 50% or not figuring a gold difference to be within $2k at time of taking inhib.

in plat if you get a pre 20 inhib, you pretty much win unless you throw or theyre late game and it stalls long enough for them to scale.

I am diamond and I see teams lose all the time due to this. I have been on both ends and it feels bad both ways tbh. An undeserved win from gold exp funnel and an unfortunate loss on the other end

I disagree,being able to scale and defend is super satisfying as you really have to fight for it

i dont think you understood my post. we know what first inhib means but many first inhibs are taken as game is ending or by a team so far ahead. i am discussing if it is beneficial to take an inhib early when team is even as it funnels gold and exp to enemy

Oh, well that depends on whether or not your team can convert the pressure created by the inhib into advantages elsewhere on the map. If the answer is no then it's not beneficial, if the answer is yes then it is.
