If you're ahead, what do?
If you play top, mid, jungle or bot and you're more relevant than your opponent of the same role, what do you do? Keep farming, dominate the opponent or look elsewhere?

Depends on who you're playing and what que you're in. I'm going to assume you mean solo que.
If you're playing a duelist, 1v1 champ like Jax, Fiora and others.......
You'll want to splitpush. BUT it's not just as simple as pushing your lane as hard as you can. To splitpush smart, you have to keep wards up in the jungle (so you don't get collapsed on) you're close to and push at the same time the rest of your team is in a position to immediately fight. This leaves your opponents one of two options, a) address you and send someone to your lane or b) force a 4v5 fight and leave you alone.
If they choose option a, they'll have to send someone who can take you, which in this case wouldn't be your laning opponent. so now not only do you draw stronger portion of their team away, that leaves your team against an underfed lane (your laning opponent). Whether your team fights or not is up to them, and how well you do against the person they send against you. If thy send two then distract them as long as possible and your team should pounce on the 4v3.
If they choose option b, you need to either push as hard as possible to make them pay for the fight in objectives or to teleport and turn the fight in your favor if possible. Usually it's just the former.
If you're playing a more team oriented/tank top like Shen, Malph........
You'll want to stick with your team and force a fight as soon as is possible. This comes down to team coordination, rotations and vision control more than anything. Ideally you'll stick around objectives like dragon and push lanes, but there's less for you alone to do. You just need to force the advantage of your opponent being underfed than anything else.
No matter what you need to force objectives with your advantage. You're ahead, and at that point it's your job to make sure your team is as well. Keep in mind it's easier to tip the scales helping a lane going even than it is helping a lane that's getting its teeth kicked in. #junglerproblems
Objectives. Always objectives. (And then dont THROW.)
It depends on the champion you are using, and what lane you are playing in.
Top Lane Lane Bullies for example want to freeze the lane the best they can, and deny the opponent any CS possible.
Win.
I have an overtendency towards trying to take both wraith camps and my lane. It's super fun when it works, because it puts you stupidly far ahead, but you'll usually be punished for it.
From mid/top, it's not bad to occasionally back off and take a camp/scuttle, thought. The enemy will (probably) not know where you are, which means you're making the other lanes play more carefully without even ganking. If you notice them NOT playing carefully when you do this (pushing up, ect), you can gank them next time you shove the wave, cuz odds are they'll still be shoved.
Other than that, take the tower in your lane, gank other lanes and take their towers, and get free drags where possible.
Shove your lane and rotate the outermost remaining tower and siege that shit. Especially if you're bot lane. Get your tower, shove the lane, and then go mid.
