Throwing anything before Q has a possibility of backfiring. And what you suggested isn't a full combo, it's just a 80% of her combo, which is sufficient burst to take down anyone anyway.

I find that Q --> E (mid flight) --> Autoattack --> E (pre-detonate) --> autoattack is the best way to trade pre 6. Thats as far as proc-ing her passive goes. Post-6, you typically want something like Q --> E (mid flight) --> R --> autoattack --> E (pre-detonate) --> autoattack

R serves as your replacement for one AA, as well as refreshing the passive duration. To throw three attacks on a smart opponent is simply wishful thinking. No one will willingly stand still and eat your skillshots, but if you can proc all 3 passives in a rotation, you are getting a lot of damage. But 2 passive procs is more than enough to scare or 100-0 someone off. Regardless, you always want R to proc one passive of your combo because your ratios add up, and so does the damage I believe. And also because the Q holds them down long enough to eat the damage from R.

Comparing Lux and Karma was just an example to show how Karma is bad despite buffs from many patches. It was to show that while Lux has significantly lower skills at her disposal, she seemingly does 80% of what Karma can achieve with 6 skills. And I honestly don't care for what ZomsX says, that guy is a part of the new Karma bandwagon and new Karma players (as I mentioned before) will take anything Riot gives to Karma without questioning their reasoning and put down old Karma players. The way Lux and Karma get off their damage is different, sure, but the way they attempt to get it accomplished is still similar if not completely similar.
