Idk what would've happened in game 2 if I hadn't gone full yolo as Vayne. Khazem got fed even though our mid was playing "defensively"(as always) and by that time the game was pretty much over so I guess something like 5-30. Funny thing is, I won the game where I performed the worst. AA animation cancelling is broken this patch which is really annoying(refering to Nana running away at 10 hp cuz my auto did 0 damage and me having to flash after her).
To be fair it's not even like I needed to die for Khazem to get fed. The minions which I had no hope of zoning him from plus roaming was enough, my early deaths just provided a springboard for him to get fed sooner, swiftly putting me in the position where being in the lane at the same time as him is a death sentence. Meanwhile, I was aware of the fact that I messed up my last-hitting horrendously early on and was farming awfully, leading to frustrations abound. At least I had some utility with Ori, part of the reason I picked her.
But pretty much I've been against someone who can wipe the floor with me in mid every time but one. It's no fun at all when the best I can do is try not to be a liability. I can't even try to play smart and pick up some relevance late-game because the late game almost never happens. I'm not learning anything from it. It's not like you'd play La Campanella to progress as a grade 4 pianist. Or well, I do, but I'm weird like that and it's not as though several other pianists have their enjoyment impeded by me butchering some classics in the privacy of my home.
I'd hoped to learn a bit more about late game calls and tactics but everything just snowballs too early for that to happen. I have gained one thing and that's a **** of a lot of experience in being behind, which I have been able to learn from, so at least that's something. I suppose I've also get gained plenty experience in facing aggressive lane opponents, in most of my normals I tend to be the one bullying the opposition in mid so I don't often get that. I recognised that Khazem could just w to a melee creep to get close for an easy q, sadly I didn't really react properly and keep allied ranged minions between me and the enemy melee creeps. My melee creeps aren't good for much when he can easily walk between them. That seems all I'm going to get out of the inhouses though.
Don't take Fox's text as an insult or attack, he means no harm. It's obvious that Khazem is plat for a reason and it can't be expected for you to mop the floor with him (not saying it's utterly impossible, but it's just not to be expected). Obviously Fox wasn't happy about raping me and apfel botlane and then not being able to win because the rest of the team didn't keep up 100% with his score, but that's how games are anyway: winning lane does not mean winning the match.
My first inhouse I was unranked and went mid against GMD, who was Gold at the time, and all I wanted was to gain experience and learn, and I did. Just relax, feel free to join other inhouses and most of all try and see what you can improve, as well as ask for advice. Per example, I think you clinged a bit too much to your ultimate in most tfs, if you were going for utility midgame you could've tried it to peel people off Vayne (of course not sure when you were in range, etc, just a suggestion).
Chill pill people.

Thank you Tsuki for the sig!
I've not taken Fox's comment as an attack, although I can see that my response is too emotional, I'm just stressed at myself. I am extremely aware of the fact that it's unfun for others to do well in lane only to find that things are going to pot elsewhere, and it stresses me out to no end. As you said, I just need to relax, use my head and react appropriately, I've been aware of it for the past couple of weeks and have tried to get around that. It's my problem, sadly it's also one I'm not having much success in fixing.
Thanks for mentioning about peeling for Vayne, when I'm behind the best thing I can do is protect those who are ahead. However to my frustration, that is something I am already aware of, sadly when I'm trying to juggle around every little thing that's going wrong for me I'm not using my head at all and can't look for these things. I'm not just playing at a level below everyone else in inhouses, I'm playing below my own level because I'm just stressing myself out. I'm at a college leaver's ball next friday so I can't come to the next one anyway, but I think my best bet is just to play normals until I actually have a champion I can call a main again. Once I have some mechanical confidence I might be able to keep my head in the inhouses rather than failing to use my brain.

you shouldn't worry about it lol. Everyone(or most ppl) remember the days where I just started playing inhouses. O GOD that was horrible rofl. What I did was quit for a while and play normals/soloq instead(not saying you should) and now I might sound cocky but there's not much competition in bot lane for me anymore :d. There's ppl you can ask questions of and they will be more than glad to answer them for you so just keep playing and learning from your mistakes =D
It's true, I remember DFox being the ****piest thing walking the map in inhouses. But he improved loads. I wouldn't say that there's no competition, we have a lot of great AD carries as regulars. Also, he tends to derp so often. :P But he definitely got pretty good at the game.
Same goes for me, I was even worse when I started out and I'm still not really good. But nobody hates on me and I always feel very welcome to join inhouses. That's why I keep coming back every week. You'll see, we are mostly a bunch of fun people. :)
