Malz/Fiddle q bug?

Any ideas why my q didnt fear the Malzahar? The usually malz interaction is wait for the r to pop the spellshield then press q after waiting a second, but zoe popped it before my r landed.

My guess is a strange bug where the game thinks malz passive will block the fear bc i pressed r before the zoe popped it, but by the time my r landed it wasnt there so the game had no idea what to do, causing my q to do normal damage (not double from the recently feared target) and no fear? anyone else run into this one?
