Why it works
- Gragas controls. His E charges at the first enemy, damages everyone nearby and stuns them; his R pushes them back.
- Yasuo needs them airborne. His R can only be used on airborne enemies and keeps them suspended.
- Gragas's Q slows with the barrel's explosion (range 850).
- Wind Wall. Yasuo's W protects against projectiles during the combo.
Weak points: Long-range poke and crowd control cleanses; it depends on coordination between both players. To verify
