Muscle and others generating ap with hero present

During the matches where there are thugs and goons and a hero present they should not generate ap. This gives the other team an ap advantage. Not only does the opposite team get the matched ap but then gets generated ap. This was apparent in a match during the last story where it was Carnage, muscle and lieutenant. While carnage matched only 3 ap the muscle and LT started blasting out tiles due to ap generation. While the player only gets what was matched. I understand the need for non playable characters to generate when no hero is present but it should not generate when one is present.
