The importance of objectives

So I went Wukong last night. It wasn't a good game for me. Our mid laner disconnected due to a power outage and we had to make do without her. That meant the enemy Ahri had her way with the top lane.

MY lane.

I went 1/6.

I also won us the game.

How? Well, when the lanes opened up, I continued to focus on pushing the lanes while everyone on the enemy team went to mid lane to try and contest that. My team did the same thing. I basically had free access to their turrets and no one came to interfere until I was at their inhibitor turret. I used all the gold from my free farm and turret genocide to get a Hydra (damage, sustain, and AOE attacks), Triforce (damage amplifier and attack speed), and a Wit's End (attack speed and magic resist, since four of the enemy champions dealt pure magic damage). The enemy team took our mid inhibitor, and I took their top and bot inhibitors. With two enemy inhibitors down, and the fact that I whaled on their nexus turrets a bit before being forced to flee, they had no chance of fighting back once their first inhibitor fell. Since then, it put us on the advantage and while they focused on defending one lane, I pushed the other all the way to the hilt, and that allowed my team to recover and catch up with less lane pressure.

Funnily enough, I also got an A rank.

Objectives are VERY important. Whenever I have the opportunity, no matter what champion I am, no matter what role I am, I WILL push the objectives with absolute ferocity. It doesn't matter how many pentakills you have if you don't push the objectives. The objectives will win you the game more than the kills will, and once an inhibitor is down, that team then has a severe handicap, which allows more opportunity for the opposing team to claim other primary and secondary objectives like the Dragon and Baron or other lanes.
