I've done well before -- hell, I've done fantastically before -- but never until the game I just played have I had the feeling of totally dominating a match.
The game was a weird one to start with: both sides had an AFKer so it was 4v4. I was jungling as Poppy, and I assumed the other side would also keep their jungler, but apparently he laned for a bit before deciding to jungle.
Another weird thing is that Wukong went mid versus Vladimir even though we had a Kennen. I mean, I assume Kennen would have a better chance? On the other hand Galio was their top so that might have been even worse. Bot was our Nunu vs. their Vayne. The MIAs were our Tryndamere and their Mundo.
Anyway, I started very unexitingly. After my first recall Wukong was very low health in mid, so I went to drive Vladimir off, but Wukong unexpectedly felt willing to commit to the gank. Due to my surprise, we failed to kill Vlad, then Xin showed up and killed Wukong while we were typing to each other! I killed Xin, and Vladimir came back, and I could probably have taken him but I didn't realize it at the time because I was low on mana so I backed off and we just laned until Wukong came back and I left.
But there came a time when it became clear this was an extraordinary game for me. That time came when I went up top to pressure that lane. I did hit-and-runs on Galio until Kennen and I finished him off; but before we could push the tower, Xin showed up. Mid was asking for help, and I attacked him under the tower planning to push past him and just hit and run, but he slowed me up enough that I took major damage. I ran for it, popped a bunch of potions, and circled around through the jungle up to Kennen. Xin was still chasing me and I wall stunned him and hit him and with Kennen there I thought he was done; but a well-applied flash saved him. My potions meant I would have reasonable health, so I proceeded to mid where Wukong and I ganked Vladimir extremely hard. Then I just kept going and went bot, where I lurked until Nunu hit Vayne with his slow at which point I ran out and two shotted her (she was fairly low health). I literally went from top to mid to bot killing everything in my way.
Their Mundo had shown up by that point (and was the sole survivor of my tour), but our Tryndamere never did. It didn't matter. I went 13/0, out of a team score of 23/3. Poppy is labeled an assassin and that never felt more true than in that game. I only had to run for my life twice, and both times I ended up killing my chaser.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
