How does one with a lead carry?

Say your midlaner gets fed.

That midlaner carries the rest of his team who's managed to stay even or only a little bit behind and wins the game because of his lead.

How does one carry, and how do you do it efficiently and effectively?

It can differ from champion to champion, as well as teammate to teammate, but the general rule of thumb is: DON'T DIE. Since you are the fed one, you are carrying the bulk of the team's wealth. If you were to fall, all of a suddenly your team has lost a large amount of power, and is very likely to fall apart in teamfights, tower fights, and objective fights. However, if you were to survive, your team will always have hope defending or even winning fights.

Another piece of advice is to USE YOUR INFLUENCE. Communication and coordination is powerful, and though there are many people who remain silent or even use it to slander their teammates, the chat is essential for getting your team together. A 1/4/2 player may find it difficult for his teammates to take him/her seriously, but a 7/0/4 player will find it much easier to influence the team. In this way, you can be the leader of the team and keep people from doing pointless tasks like hovering around a lost objective or pushing mid when the inhibitor is already down.

I don't have much knowledge or a stable plan for carrying, but what i do when i get fed or have won my lane is assisting my teammates in their lanes by ganking and pushing. Focusing on objectives is also important, and since you're ahead you have more time in taking these objectives ( drake, towers...etc.). Staying in lane while ahead is a mistake since you're throwing away your advantage. Focus on helping while your ahead since the advantage you have decreases its effectiveness as the game approaches late-game.

Take your lead to win your lane, after taking turret go to other lanes and pick up kills or another turret. Rinse repeat, taking every "OBJECTIVE YOU CAN." Some people get leads and just start hunting down kills, keep pushing lanes, take dragons/baron, clear their damn jungle.

The most important part of carrying with a lead is not killing your own momentum. End the game as soon as possible
