The pros will max E for its lower CD and higher damage, then use it to land behind the enemy, and W-Q through them back to safety.

It does more damage than the basic W-Q-Basic attack-E to escape combo, even when  you max W first. Also, it makes AoE farming a breeze, and the increased slow from E is really nice for ganks, but it costs a rediculous amount of mana to do consistently.

Thus it effectively requires you to have blue buff, which is why it shouldn't be done in solo que, and why usually only see the pro's doing it, because their jungler makes sure to get them blue buff early.
