Q is just plain better to max, the only thing your getting from your e is the damage amplification, and your q increases in damage as you level it (more than e amplifies it) anyways.

Plus you want to capitalize on your midgame the most, while he might have a good late game in terms of an assassin, he still is an assassin and still will scale off. Leveling Q and increasing it's base damage is more important taking advantage of midgame and being able to gank sidelanes before toplane and jungle become too tanky to instagib, and people start grouping which interfereswith your ability to kill the carries and get out.
