Because people like to use Q for farming and ranking it up means increasing the mana cost. The bonus damage isn't that good and the cooldown doesn't matter because early game you're not using it to harass, it's useless for that. People rank "E" instead because of the stun mainly. It's 2 seconds at max rank and the skill has a relatively low cooldown. With CDR boots and Shurelia's you can bring it to a 5 second cooldown. It also hits hard. I personally rank Q,E,W,E,W,R then R>E>W>Q.
