E'd damage scales with level, while Q leveling means more damage, aka better trading power. Basically, without a Q max, it's a whole lot harder to safely trade with enemy laners are you lose a lot of damage.

I can believe that a long time ago Riven was built half-half, and I still see a fair deal of Rivens do so unless they're fed to all hell. I usually grab three damage items and grab a Randuins/Maw/BV unless I'm hard carrying, then it's GA.

Most Riven's take and level Q first, because it gives the best damage increase overall in her kit.
