I personally like maxing E over Q since E is the more better skill in small skirmishes. It's easier to proc his W with E and during the middle of trading with Q, there is no way to charge up his Q to be worth the damage. Doing this makes the early-mid game transition for me all the better. Besides, the slow prevents fleeing enemy from escaping easily.

You do lose some poke ability, but I find increasing trade ability to be way more better in most cases.

Granted, if I'm already dominating the lane or the enemy is extremely passive, then I will level Q since what's the point of making my trade potential better if I never trade damage.
