Depends who you're against. If you're good at landing skillshots/the enemy is bad at dodging them, then it's pretty good for the damage.

But, you should remember that the mana cost of W increases as you level it, whereas it stays at 50 for each level on Q, so it can be a risky decision.

I think maxing W would be best against assassins as your Q can be unreliable against someone like Talon or Kata who could easily dodge the Q. But, with W maxed and 1 point in E, you can bring the ball back to yourself to cast W when they're in your face.
