Hi everyone reading this, i have a question. I tried him some times and everygame went somehow good. I really rarely play him, one game a month or something but i want to give him more love. Some ppl say, as i heard, he is considered as one of the best mages at this time but i nearly never see him ingame, so i wanted to play him more often. So i wanted to ask, if it would not be bad to max up E BEFORE Q? The damage of e is higher and it's easier to land. Wouldn't it be better to use it for harass in laning phase? What items should i buy for him? Sorcerer boots, Athenes, Rylais, Deathcap and situativ items? Or is their really need for him to stack HP with RoA?

TL; DR: E or Q, RoA needed, is he op?
