Why it works
- Jarvan's R creates a fighting zone after he leaps onto a target.
- Orianna's ball. Her Q sends it to a location, her E attaches it to an ally with a shield and her W creates a zone that speeds up allies and slows enemies.
- Orianna's R releases a shockwave and pulls enemies toward the ball.
- Jarvan knocks up. His Q knocks up enemies in his path.
Weak points: Assassins who attack Orianna; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
