A lot of people go flat MR because early game sets the pace of the rest of the game. Knowing how good he is at farming at early levels thanks to his MR scaling as AP and AoE, people find it better to start on a good foot with the early MR since you'll be buying a ton of it later where the extra 10 or so you would get late-game wouldn't matter as much.
