"I only request that you guard the condescension that seeps into your words."

I think you're hilarious. Try reading the stuff you type.

Alright as for your points. "I level Q for the greater silence duration." Not a bad idea really. But you suggest using it to push waves. Early on, when you're still deciding what to max (W or Q), you're not pushing with Q. Like, I've typed before, Q is leveraging advantage to land a direct E or for silencing an advancing lane opponent or jungler. I'm not going to waste Q on lane pushing at this point. Instead, I'd much rather plop W down and hit most of them (instead of Q's smaller area). Now, the enemy has to avoid a large percentage-hp aoe as well as the wandering Maleific visions, which could be a perfect opportunity to land a Q, drop E, R, then ignite.

Leveling W allows you to save Q while pushing or zoning out an enemy. I agree wholeheartedly that Q is an excellent strategic tool, but I disagree that it should be dropped on pushing early on. I use Q for gauranteed E's or R's or for 'Oh my God was that a Shaco cloud in the bushes?'
