I used to max E right away because it was good, but then I found out that putting 2-3 points into W was even better before making E. So basically:

W -> Q/E -> Q/E -> W -> W -> R

Then from there max: R > E > W > Q

You'll get E to rank five at level ten, which is around the time you'd want it maxed for teamfights so this skill order works perfectly.

Giving him damage reduction would make no sense for his kit/theme, because he's supposed to be an evasive fighter.

Riot also nerfed his Q because he could 100-20 squishies with a single W+Q if he had Lich Bane. They didn't like this so they nerfed his Q, buffed his R, and changed his W to make Fizz a healthier champion where he can't just point-and-click for an easy kill.
