considering, that you probably won't hit every q, the dmg-gain from maxing q first is not as significant as it seems.

i prefer maxing e first, which allows you to win virtually every trade in lane.

what i max second, depends on the situation. if the teamfighting starts early, i max q second since you will need the extra dmg to blow up the carrys. if laning phase takes long, i max w second for the cooldown-reduction, allows you to trade more often before the enemies cooldowns come back up.
