Question for High Elo Players: How do you close out games so fast?

I love playing viktor, 72% winrate with the guy, but I would really like to diversify with other champions to get better at the game. I love his wave clear and how he can bully people in trades with his q, so I went on to play a lot of early game bully mages like syndra and leblanc. I've been told that their damage takes a nose dive after people get 2-3 items and am now curious to what is my goal during the game once I developed a lead. A lot of roam heavy midlaners are out in the meta right now so I don't really interact with them and some have much better waveclear then me, so what would be the right line of play?

Not really high elo (I tend to stop at D5 and then switch focus to my steam library), and nor am I a midlaner, but a big thing lower elo people do is focus on kills much more than objectives which doesn't really close out games.

Whenever you can do so safely, shove stuff into tower. Then see if you can roam to herald/drag/top/bot or get some deep vision so you can spot the enemy jg (which in turn facilitates doing those other things). If you can't do those things, smack the tower a bunch. If you get a tower, rotate to another objective. Repeat.

Often times chasing a kill is a waste of time, even if you ultimately get the kill. If you've gotten someone so low they have to back, they can't contest you taking an objective and thats where the real progress to winning comes from.
