Indeed, WQ is the initiation combo.

When the fight has already started, it is usually better to just stand as a huge wall between your carries and the enemy, peeling and bodyblocking skillshots. If somebody tries to get close, just Q and wait until the stun ends to use W, so you maximize stun duration.

You can also W enemies into a wall and wait before using Q. That way, you also gain some extra time of lockdown.

Lastly, just headbutting a dangerous enemy (e.g. a fed Riven) out can single-handedly win a fight. Your team might not get the shutdown kill, but these few extra seconds the fed enemy will need to join the fight again can be enough to kill their non-fed allies.
