I'm curious, is everyone maxing E first? Because I usually max Q first. I know, that People prefer to max E, because it grants good waveclear and poke that is hard to dodge, but there are too many downsides to my mind. Maxing E only gives you more damage and a little stronger slow, while the cooldown keeps the same and the manacost are rediculous high. The cooldown of Q in return decreases with rank and the manacost is almost the half of E. The damage is higher aswell, eventhough it's limited to two Targets.

My reason is, maxing Q makes Lux a lot safer, since you will have up your snare more often and with it the only real way to escape from a gank. The damage is higher too, so your trades will be stronger too. Beside this, my waveclear was allways good enough with Level 1 E and her passive. Unless you are laning against someone who pushes the lane non-stop, like Viktor, Morgana or Malzahar.
