They don't have to make mistakes - they just have to be poor at sieging the base versus sieging the lanes. Lots of comps can push a lane but struggle to breach the base - and some defending teams are still really good at clearing waves even if they're shit awful at fighting a winning enemy team. The game usually comes down to waiting on Baron buff or Dragon Slayer in order to get inside the enemy base, and the duration isn't always long enough to push all the way to victory - and even if the defending team never catches up on gold, their still getting enough gold to put up a strong defence.

I've had many of these games toward the end of last season where one lane super-feeds but we manage to turtle - but the enemy team just isn't dead long enough for us to get to their first set of towers, let alone claim an advantage ourselves.
