I don't know why anyone would start E over his Q after the recent QoL changes. Charging a voidling on the pad can make for amazing harass if you play aggressively.

That being said, you need to consider a couple things in regards to Null Zone. Early on you get very little actual damage because people don't have a great amount of health. Given that you land your skills consistently they will provide better DPS for leveling than Null Zone will. On it's own Null Zone is completey avoidable and not worth the damage it will deal in 1-2 ticks for the mana spent. It only really begins to scale when you've built at least 100 AP and even then is only really worth using when you can hold them on it with your ult. Until late game in team fights, it isn't that great a skill to use.
