People will max either W or E. Depends on their ability to land bubbles, if they have an ADC that can help trade when Q lands, and if they can go without the sustain. W max was way better during the reign of Morg, since Q was easily shielded and Morg does bad against sustain/poke.

I don't care for Q max. It's too unreliable. As you said, it's difficult to hit. Maxing it only brings it to the same CD as her W, and all you gain is damage. When you max W, you get sustain + damage. Maxing E gives more CC + damage. I know Nami is known to have mana troubles, but she has one of the highest base mana regens at level 1. She also has the third highest mana pool at level 1. Early, she's fine. Besides, if you land Q, you don't want to just leave it at that. You want to E them as well, which will cost 115 mana total. Alternatively, you want to slow them with E first, for a better chance to land Q. That totals to 115 mana. Your sacrificing reliable CC or sustain for 15 mana. Not worth IMO.
