Ok. Let's do some math. Cait at level 13 has 1500 HP and is categorised as a priority target.

Evolving R gives you 1 second stealth, 3 seconds of 40% damage reduction and an extra 140 damage.

Evolving Q gives you 50 attack range and an extra ~90 damage on each Q proc, meaning you need 2 Q procs to outdamage evolved R. And that's against a squishy target.

Basically, if you need to tank shit or kill someone in the middle of the fight you evolve R, because it will allow you to reach your target without dying thanks to the damage reduction. If you can already reach your target (because you evolved E for example or you are good at flanking), then you don't need R and you can evolve Q for heightened crazy DPS during teamfights.

inb4 "you evolve W at level 6". No you don't necessarily: if you are against a squishy mage, then evolving E will allow you to actually get kills instead of poking them out of lane. Kha jungle also appreciates evolve E for ganks since he doesn't need the AoE spikes.
