Xayah combos for insta root

Most people ive seen talking about how to set up your e to root use q>aa to get the 3 feathers out but since the change to q where you can't auto during it's animation I've found w>aa>q to be more reliable.

As follow up to cc the q>a still works fine usually but for just rooting people without prior cc I've found it too slow and they just walk out of it. With w>aa>q>e they have far less reaction time since you can cast e while both of the q feathers are flying which can almost guarantee a root even with a low cc support.

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on xayah combos and what is most effective to use for trading in lane or for generating picks later on.
