Skill max order on Volibear, Rumble, Shaco, Riven and Olaf?

I know the first skill to max on all of these champs After the first however, I'm stuck and cant decide. Usually on Volibear I max W first, E second and Q last, but I sometimes see people max Q second and it works really well. On Rumble, I max Q first, then W, and then E, but I want to know if the slow and damage are any good over the increased shield and movespeed. Shaco I go E first, then Q, then W, but the boxes offer such great utility that I'm hesitant. Riven I do something different every game, I always max Q first, but whether I max W or E next is never consistent. Olaf I usually max E first because in lane it's super powerful, but then I max w for extra sustain, while my q remains a low-damage slowing skillshot. If I max q earlier, my W's lifesteal is pretty much worthless.

Hows the order of skills I max imo & why:

Volibear W-E-Q

I max W for faster jungle clear times & a stronger execution whenever I come to gank. People may max Q first because they may have preferred a stronger gank intiation than a faster camp clearing.

Rumble Q-W-E(?)

Maxing Q is compulsory for any Rumble games, as it is his only basic offensive move & poke. Between W & E, Im not too sure myself. I may max W second for that extra shield strength & movement speed boost, or sometimes max E second for another poke & stronger slow. It varies on who Im going up against.

Shaco E-Q-W

Maxing E is an ideal way because it gives a stronger slow & increases chances of making the monsters missing their attacks on you, technically speaking, you'll have better sustain mid-late game. Maxing Q is also a good thing if you prefer stronger gank initiation than a better sustaining jungle clears.

Riven W-E-Q

The last time I played Riven, this is the maxing combo I go for. Q is literally just a passive proc-er, while W has some good meaningful poking AoE damage on it. E is best maxed second for the shield strength. Q is generally a move that helps you gets in fights & escape fights, not really a big deal to max first.

Olaf E-W-Q

I always play Tank Olaf, so maxing E can help you deal a lot of damage for a guy with no AD builds. I usually just take 2 points in W for better sustain & skirmishes, while maxing Q last since its mana cost is kind of high if you kept planning to catch-&-throw all the time.

In my humble opinion, here is the skills I max and why.

Volibear WQE W for the skill that does damage, Q for reduced CD, then e last because q is for more move speed and I believe easier to stick to targets then e

Rumble QEW Q is your bread and butter, E for the stronger slow and more damage, and w last because it has no damage. I just prefer the extra damage and slow on Rumble.

I don't play shaco, can't answer here.

Riven QEW Q first for the damage increase, as the scaling increases as you level it, e for the reduced CD, and W last.

Don't play enough Olaf to know.
