Interesting how many people said W first... I usually land all my Qs when I 1v1 so I almost always max Q first. I sort of think Q's cooldown is really short if you pace it out so it's my main source of damage as well. Like what Morello said in the patch preview @ nerf patch, they wanted to make W a more utility spell while Q should be the attractive heavy damage option, so that's how I went with it.

It really depends, not only to what you're laning against but whatever feels more comfortable for you to use. If you're the type of Riven that hardly uses Q for damage but use it for utility, go W.
