The e is only ever used to initiate a combo or apply his passive. It also is not as good for pushing as his W is by default, because W has better range (range = safety) and better damage (damage = pushing speed). The only reason to even try to use E's blaze effect is when you absolutely need the bonus damage on W to affect multiple targets. Also, at lvl 1 E has the largest cooldown, the lowest range, and the least damage of any of his abilities (in addition to being single target). The only of these shortcomings to even be addressed with leveling E is the cooldown. My point is that having a low utility, low damage, single target nuke in his kit is the main thing holding him back. I'm not saying people don't use E, I'm saying that it's the least useful and the least interesting of his skills.
