The 60% total AD scaling on Q remains exactly the same at all stages and that's where most of the damage comes from. 45 extra dmg per rank isn't that big of a deal and the lower cooldown won't make a difference if you can't stick to your target to apply it twice. That's why jungle Xin always maxes E, the lower cooldown and better slow can make a difference between letting someone escape or secure the kill. Maxing Q is only advisable for top lane if you're playing against another melee, where closing gaps are not needed for trades.
