Using Q means you're going to deal 20~100+(8% of the enemy's health) base damage, up to 75~375 base damage. So, when your enemy gets over 687'5 health, your rank one Q will deal the 75 capped damage always (3437'5 at rank 5).

Effectively, Q is great for killing tanky guys and people like that. However, unless that base damage+your AD equals 125~425 damage, it is prefferable to max E first if you know how to use it, specially in TT. If you don't, Q is still a good damage ability.
