Okay so I have noitced a number of people saying that maxing your Q first is better than maxing your E first, due to her E gaining only 10 damage per level. However, if you really sit down and do the math, maxing her E is a better choice.

Think of it this way. Every time you level your Q you gain 45 damage. The cooldown and the slow do not scale. 45 damage is the equivalent of 4.5 autoattacks with E to equate that damage. At level ONE, you have enough aspd to do 5.2 autoattacks in 8 seconds. That is not factoring in any items or runes. to deal 4.5 autoattacks (5, since you can't exactly autoattack half a time), it takes 7.65 seconds.

This allotted time will only get smaller and smaller as you factor in runes and items, making E deal more and more damage versus Q. Of course, if you mainly Poke with Kayle, and never really go into a full sustained fight,  her Q is a better choice. But if you really want to Poke people you shouldn't be playing Kayle. Go play Elise or Karthus.
