I max E when I'm harassing with autoattacks a lot, i.e. when enemy is short-ranged. If my adc has strong early game damage and both opponents are squishy, so I want the most opportunities to all in them, I max Q for shorter cooldown. I almost never max W first, but I also don't use it to collect souls. I might max it first if we're behind or being camped and have to play very safe.

In general, I think E is best to max first. It gives the most damage (or at least the most reliable damage), and helps with executing minions.
