A good teamfight (compared to the opposition) can upturn tables as well, and taking advantage of numbers (singling out people) is another good way to come back.

The biggest thing is that the 1/1/2 setup works and is fairly proven, not only that but it's an easy way to co-ordinate with others when not premade because it's easy to agree on.

In responce to your pushing, they could have also forced an inhib/win as well. It's very good that you adapted to your situation and it worked out, but don't harsh on people following tried, tested and proven methods.
