Everything mentioned in this post is agreeable and correct, but i want to stress the importance of map awareness.

Vision via wards is priceless, we all know this, but, you know what, how can you take advantage from it if you don't actually look at your minimap?

Look at your map. Look at it. At least once every 20 or 30 seconds. Countless times good chances to go for an objective or a kill are wasted because someone didn't look at the map, thus not realizing the opportunities. Knowing what is going on on the enemy side (with wards revealing the fog of war and your eyes looking at the map) will make you take the right decisions and ultimately win.

When there's no vocal communication between team mates, pinging is the best and fastest way to communicate. Don't ping too much without reason, but make sure to ping a couple of times, in 2 or 3 seconds, and not just one time, when you want to tell someone is ganking another lane or if you want to point out something important. The first ping tells there's something going on and put every team mate on alert, the second one indicates WHAT (danger, help incoming, assist needed, etc.) and WHERE is going to happen.
