... leblancs always maxed q and then w as far as i can remember. and i remember it since her release. like, yeah, e deals more damage. but it requires more time, while w is instant, gets reduced cd, and is more effective in burst. and few metagame mages can trade back. few mages period can trade back. she goes in, qw, you are silenced, she goes out. hard to deal with, unless you are morgana. or sion maybe. also, maxing distortion first is ... hm. its not really "bad", it just seems subpar. sure, you get more aoe damage, but you lose burst and trading potential. not to mention the mana cost. early game having a high mana cost on your escape is not exactly good.
