indeed. In fact, there are some games that can be won just from that one initiation.

At one point, I was a solo top Wukong and my whole team was losing 6-16 by the 15 minute mark while losing bot tower. Bot was especially losing, which means the carry was getting fed. After the laning phase, I just started initiating in team fights and we managed to win the game despite my teaming arguing with each other because of bot's feeding.

This is why tanks are so important. Sure, if the carry is fed then that carry is a crazy killing machine. However, it's the tank that can decide the fate of team fights.
