AI dropping a TU countdown tile without TU animation

I have not seen a topic posted for this, but I have noticed now a few times when the AI will drop a TU countdown tile, such as Hawkeye's Electric Arrow, without announcing that a TU has been used. Typically when a TU is used, the TU symbol will flash and then the character's animation will occur. The first time a countdown tile dropped, I did not notice that it had been placed and it went off. Subsequently, I have kept an eye out and it will just appear without any TU or character animation. Don't know if anyone has seen this, or not seen, this happen.

    Yes, for me once magnetos blue tile appeared, and other time sentrys rupture, without animation, but just two tiles appeared, even there would have been room for more. So many TU bugs!

    I don't think this is a bug, as it works exactly the same way as a member on the AI team using a CD power.
    While fighting MN Mags if he uses blue or red the CD just appears and a short beeping sound plays. The same thing happens with the hawkeye TU. The big picture and power use animation happens when the CD is triggered not placed.

    I agree it's annoying but just listen for the beep and watch the board.

    Ask how many people muted their games a long long time ago. There have been polls. A "beep" will not inform a large percentage of the playing audience that something happened.
