Two Simple Wattson Tweaks

@MSwampertEXI do feel the fences should be better at their job somehow, right now they're incredibly easy to spot and takedown with a bullet or two to the point they serve as a false sense of safety most of the time. The only times I find them useful is blocking off ziplines and doorways that have large enough stretches that you can put the pylons out of sight from the other side. The main issue is, what can be done is kind of lacking to keep them as a security feature instead of something trap-like. The only things I can think of off the top of my head is making the pylons smaller so you have more freedom in placement/harder to hit them, making the fence block bullets both ways, or making them go haywire when broken so the fence disappears but the pylons still act as a dangerous spot to go through for a short time.
On the other hand, the passive I agree needs a rework. A focus on her shields would be more interesting in turn for taking away the double stack of ult accels. Some ideas I've seen that were cool is the evo shield taking ring damage for Wattson, or just flat-out buffing the passive regen to be equivalent to Octane. Perhaps even both would be fine. Another interesting idea is her revive being boosted in some sense, such as giving an extra cell or two when you revive someone/self revive.
