You wouldn't max it first on AD Kog because the shred doesn't scale very well (20% shred at rank 1 is more than you need considering rank 5 is only 28%), and while it isn't very hard to land, the projectile is very wide so blocked by minions. Also you'd like the range increase for your auto attacks from W.

It's a possible first maxed skill if you do need the nuke damage. But his E does almost as much damage and also is a strong CC to stop counterattack on him.
