"I've seen a lot of people max Q first on the PBE when laning, but I think the better idea would be to max E in lane."

I've seen a couple streamers play Sion and they all tend to max E first for the reasons you've mentioned. I tend to agree E,Q,W, will probably be the skill order for maxing them out.

Q is a great skill but the long channel time means that it's meant as a follow up to successful ultis, chained from jungler ganks, and to defend against all-ins. No one is going to be standing around in that aoe for any other reason, and if this is the case why would you want to max a skill first when it isn't your primary laning workhorse skill?
