While it's suboptimal there's a bigger issue with the manual trigger: It's inconsistant.
During ShB it was okay, Queen finishes Arm Punch then cast Pile Bunker. Sometimes it would instantly cast Pile Bunker, okay you miss 1 Arm Punch.

In EW, it's a bit more tricky.
AQ needs to go through the whole Pile Bunker animation before casting Crown collider. It's not easy to get the right timing before a kill as the timing really depends on your team DPS.
And add the hard to predict possible Arm Punch that could get in the timing.

The whole Automaton Queen belongs with the garbages.
