This week, thanks to Riot's unwavering release of champions, we get even further behind because we talk about the patch notes. They were pretty significant, so we feel good about covering them. We also have a whopping 3 e-mails and 2 voicemails. Keep those coming in guys, we really appreciate it. We also learn that Shen is OP. According to Hunter. Which is a pretty accurate telling of Shen's powers. Intro Song: LoLpod Themes by 'Nobody Use those buttons on the left to follow us on twitter, itunes, join our facebook, or watch our stream.

- @tails93: There's nothing more annoying as an ad carry than losing kills to your support champ. As a support champ, you're likely using the bonus gold for assists mastery, and should utilize that perk every chance you get. As for the guy in your game, just tell him you didn't mean to do it. Annoying carry is annoying.
- PLEASE can u talk about when people say kill steal, its so annoying i was fighting as sona with the ad carry and u accidentally kill them with ur Q and the whole game he was like "kill stealer kill stealer" ino its annoying but it just i hate when people say it.
- To address these points:
1. Yeah, volley does have AD scaling, but I don't think ashe is as reliant on having that extra damage as Sivir is. If she can get two full passes of her Q and then nail a ricochet on the target with full AD runes, that is key. Ashe wants to poke enemies down with her auto attacks. Volley isn't on as low of a CD as boomerang blade/ricochet is. It did get lowered recently, which is a step in the right direction but with sivir's range being on the low side, she really relies on the bonus AD to optimize her Boomerang Blade damage. that's all we were saying.
2. AD Runes do in fact do more damage to lower armored targets. There was a great blog post written up on ARpen runes vs AD runes over on Reign of Gaming, you can find and read it here: http://rog.clgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/5117-debunked-ad-runes-are-better-than-arpen-runes - Good cast, just you were 2 times wrong about AD vs ArPen runes:
1. "Sivir has AD scaling, but Ashe doesn't" - so wrong: Volley has spammable 1.0 AD scaling
2. "AD benefits more for low armor champions" - wrong, ArPen runes is always more damage to champions than AD, unless your total ArPen is more than total Armor of champions, which practically doesn't happen.
(Or unless you are rushing Last Whisper, which you practically don't).
Hope you will clarify that in comment or next cast.
