For your one example I can give examples of over 100 games that did not go this way. Riot never promised there would never be a game over X amount of minutes or that it was impossible to turtle on the new map. I am sure there were plenty of opportunities for your team to get back on track before getting that far behind. I notice most games that end up being a turtle-fest is because the team not turtling does not have any decent range capable of pushing towers.
I have been on both sides of battlefield in the example you gave. I have been on a team where we locked the enemy in their base for a solid 20 minutes after going 10-0 and taking the first two towers within the first few minutes of the game. Only to lose later on because we were all 3-4 levels behind because we did not keep farming. We got it in our head we had already won and just stopped doing what we should have.
I have been on teams where we were locked in our base and down on kills but come back to win. A member of my team is spamming /surrender then AFK's because we voted no. We end up getting a couple aces and push to win 2v3. ~50min game. Mainly because they were playing sloppy.
I have also had a legitimate game end at 8:30(my record for fastest game without an afk'r). The enemy had squishy/late game champs. We had Karma/Skarner/Voli. They would just throw themselves at us early on and by the time they figured out this was bad they had 2 bot turrets down.
One thing I notice is that long games typically have a teemo on one of the teams. Normals way of thinking is: Oracles are only good to buy AFTER you have a full build and under no circumstances should you ever get MR. Even if one shroom drops you to 50%. Since teemos put shrooms in the middle of lanes you should NEVER hug the walls to avoid them.
