Can we give Taliyah some incentive to use E W at all?
It was her original disruption combo and it dealt a lot of damage regardless of resistances back then. Now that they're nerfing it's base damage even more, there's little to no reason to ever use E W over W E since they both deal the same amounts of damage once the mines are triggered. W E is safer overall and it lacks the weaknesses E W gives off, which is forcing Taliyah to be in dangerous range. This weakness, however, was not as prevalent prior to the Lockout removal as her mine damage from E was extremely punishing for anyone who got caught in it. Due to the falloff damage, her mines only tickle people who build 1 or 2 MR items.
I've seen some Taliyah mains suggest that her E W combo should not have falloff damage, but her W E combo should. Allies pushing enemies through the minefield and enemies triggering the mines themselves should not have falloff damage either. This would give strengths and weaknesses to both setups as patient Taliyah players are rewarded with higher damage, while impatient Taliyah players are greeted with MUCH lower damage. Lets be honest. A lot of Taliyah mains and former Taliyah mains are distraught about how their champion is gimped in almost every aspect besides her overbuffed Q, which is also being reverted to release day soon. I believe Lockout isn't the only way to give her old playstyle back, but we have to at least try to make it happen.
