You shouldn't max q first, as early game, you don't have the damage to make bonus attack speed that usefull, and your mana pool is so small that you can't afford to waste mana. I max e first and take either e or w at level 1. I wait till the 1:40 mark, as usually the enemy will have invaded, or you will have made the decision to do something dangerous, which you would need your w for. The passive on e is very good though, and if you are smart, you can push people into the turret who do not farm well under turret early. These are champs with low early attack damage, or who have large AOE spells that are incapable of actually clearing the wave in one hit. So not Draven or Ezreal. Graves and Cait are examples of this early.

I max e first, because the enemy may be scared by the burst given with w, where as e actually has a higher base damage at 5, a good passive, and, when accompanied with ignite, can DoT for nearly 500 damage once you have 5 points in. W still resets, no matter what, and your ulti has so much damage, that you don't really need the extra little bit of burst. Its kind of your decision though, it's like comparing Casseopia's damage to Katarina's.

Always max q second. You should be in mid game, and have enough damage to actually take advantage of the massive steroid. I max w last. Since you don't have any AP as an ADC, it actually deals less damage, and is less usefull over all than e.
