Continuing on that, there's no reason at all to start with Q if you'd want it for that reason. Take W, or E (I prefer W) first, and get Q for your lvl 2 gank. I honestly feel that W > E > Q is a better way to go early game.
When would you ever think it's better to max something other than E first? It's got an AoE slow, decent damage, and helps you clear faster.
