It's totally okay. You can always choose whatever you want.

Interesting. I play a lot of Karma, but I usually find the opposite. Are you mostly using Mantra with it too?
On another note, if Karma's E can target jungle camps, then it should be able target super minions. It's horrible getting stuck trying to clear them alone and all you have is your Q.
Depends on if you want a farm or poke lane. Generally when I grab Karma or Lulu it is with the intent of poke heavy but able to switch to defensive based around lane temperature. If I know up front I want pure farm I will take Janna or Soraka (Orianna if I'm bored and want to work hard for my defense). If I want flat out poke I will grab Annie or Sona.
Karma is meant to be versatile so there's no set path on her skill order when she plays support.
I only max E if my adc is an aggressive type of player. But if he's passive and just like to farm, Q and babysit him by poking the enemy to get away.
Support? Depends on lane. If you can poke, or your adc is more agressive, you are probably better off with Q for the chunking.
Solo lane/Jungler? Max it 2°, it gives better survivability that Mantra W since it was buffed.
I've had this same problem lol. I think E is better if you know how to time it well. If you're the type of support who can predict when damage will come, then max E. I'm that type, and I'll block most empowered melee attacks even. The Q is good if you're more adept at landing it well. With me, that's not the case xD I tend to miss a lot if the enemy hides behind minions.
I'd suggest experiment a bit. If you find your Q's easy to land and you can sort of predict the movements of enemies, go for it. But if they're very good at dodging, E is a safer choice. It extends the life of your adc and provides more damage that way because if they live longer, they deal more damage. Not to mention the R>E is epic in a gank and literally will always 100% land, whilst Q has great potential to miss. As a support, that is.
If you're mid, Q is always naturally maxed first because it's your primary damage dealing ability. Maxing E is only logical if it increases potential offensive power, like with an aggressive adc at your side. And if your adc is extremely defensive, runs like hell, there's not much point in E. Unless you can bash them with your shield :D (They say old Karma had that effect, but I joined LoL only after :/)
Personally I prefer Q-max but absolutely do what you like, E-max probably suits your playstyle a lot better and that's cool. Frankly I think a lot of Karmas would be better off going for E-max because people have a tendency to tunnel vision on her Q which isn't usually wise.
