Great question. If Q is maxed first it's 20 seconds less cooldown on executes vs 35 more damage and 0.1 s higher stun duration on E. (Only considering this scenario because given the Q cooldown reduction on ranks I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't max it first.)

I'd find it very situational. Would I always max both Q and E before putting another rank in R? Absolutely not. But if in a certain game you find you already have your R up whenever you need, to the point where you don't need lower cooldown, why not?
