^You're assuming that I said don't take E at all; that is not true and you can't max R all at once unless you're level 16. I think E is more for utility than damage in most cases. If you max E, then at level 10 you will get achieve max rank with 20% health. Whereas, if you take R, you will have level 3 E with 14% health.

Let's say a popular top laner, Kennen, is also level 10. He has 1453 health at level 10 with the durability mastery and haunting guise item. If you maxed E, you'd deal an extra 291 damage (+100% AD). If you took a point in R, then you'd deal 204 damage (+100% AD). That's an extra 87 damage for maxing E, while if you took a point in R you would get 60 bonus magic damage, 15% armor/mr reduction, or the 15 bonus armor/mr. I could do the math for the R but you get the idea.

Basically, take R whenever you can. I used to take E because I'd play Jayce with a manamune and cooldown boots. Now that the nerf brought the cooldown for acceleration gate to 16 seconds, I'm maxing R for most games. The mild speed increase isn't worth it in my opinion as well.

By taking R at level 6 and 11, you'd get to max E at level 13.
