Many good opponents can time when you're going to R in, and they can throw down their spell quick enough to hurt you before Q shield is up. In those cases, using Q immediately would be better.

In most gank scenario, E 1st is better though. A Riftwalk + E is often enough to make ADC shit in their pants and blow up their summoner spell.
