Trundle's Q does not trigger Cheap Shot

Chomp: Trundle's next basic attack bonus physical damage and slows his target by 75% for 0.1 seconds.

Cheap Shot: Basic attacks and damaging abilities deal 10 − 45 (based on level) bonus true damage to **slowed **or immobilized enemy champions.

If you didn't know, Trundle briefly slows an enemy for chomping them with his Q. This in question should proc the rune for its intended effect, which is dealing bonus true damage to a movement impaired enemy champion. Even after basic attacking after the Q, it still does not deal the damage as promised.

Though I'm not really sure if the extremely short slow duration is the issue (0.1 second) here but the way the rune is worded does not include "slows must be longer than x seconds" so I'm pretty sure it is a bug.

Don't have a clip showing the bug but you should try it in Practice Tool on a dummy, it doesn't work.

It doesn't deal the damage because it only deals damage if the next attack occurs during the cc. That's why not many people take it.

Edit: I tested this with both BoRK and his ultimate, and the Q does proc Cheap Shot. It's just that with the duration, if you don't immediately attack, you aren't going to get it. 'Cause like I said, it only applies if you damage them during the CC.

So you can only use it for cheap shot if you get Titanic Hydra for the auto reset, his ultimate, or one of the activated items that deals damage. Since he has no other moves and you'd need literally 10.1 AS to get it with a normal auto.
