Because previously you'd either upgrade E for the utility or Q for the passive steroid first, maxing it at level 9. Given how putting points in W didnt actually increase your dmg output since the % health dmg is non AD scaling. However since it is your major offensive tool, especially given the range increase per level, you'd max it second at level 13.

However with the attack speed passive moved to the W and with the % health dmg having a minimal threshold, means that taking it at level 1 and maxing it first at level 9, gives you a somewhat stronger lanning phase and makes you reach your powerspike sooner. (Remember that with W on your attack speed is doubled, so your passive is doubled to 70% attack speed)
