Nicely written. But why don't you take your Q at all? It can help in poking lane opponents and helping to win trades due to the increased damage.

But why don't you take your Q at all?

About the Q...
First of all Hymn of Valor is very good spell. I love it. Choose between Q or E and with that between two totally different playstyles.
  • Q - You wait for opportunities to burst enemies and you deal strong damage in lane. Depending on enemy reaction this results in either low/high/x or high/low/x. If you face the usual OMG-OMG-Sona-OP whiners that are affraid of your Q and don't know how to handle you, then, yes, you will have an easy lane. If your enemies know that the downside of damage is your squishyness, and have some sort of CC... you will die sooner or later. In the end ...
    ... this playstyle abuses enemy mistakes in trading damage, understimating you.
  • W - You position yourself and your team better, they do the damage, and you enable them to do so effectively. You wont die because you are too quick. You end games with 0/0/x and that doesn't look sexy at the first glance. But your teammates profit from higher survivability and get x/0/0 and that is what counts. I assume that an AD carry doesn't need my Q but just 2 more auto-attacks of his own, and I give him that option. In the other case ...
    ... this playstyle abuses enemy mistakes in positioning, underestimating you and your team.
I think both are viable and sometimes one works better than the other. Look at your enemy as I discribed in the first chapter. Finally: late game, when your Staccato does hurt, you will have it and the ~500 damage burst without and AP and items is still awesome. Yes please.
