By rank 2, poison should already have more dps than auto-attacking, and you don't need to be in melee range to use it. If you utilize a high move speed and positioning, you can easily get off 3 or more ticks of poison without needing to neessarily get within melee range.

Poison is good for getting between your opponent and their last-hits. Poison around the allied minion that's asking to be last-hit next, and your opponent either misses the kill, or volunatarily takes poison damage without getting a chance to counterattack.
