Wattson Season 8 Buff Good, but could be better

The new Wattson shield buff functions similar to Octane's health regeneration; however, at half the speed. unless used with special. When Wattson has on a purple shield, it takes over 3 minutes for it to fully regenerate. When used concurrently with Wattson's Pylon it takes about 40 seconds for this shield to regenerate. 

I think the amount of regen time when used at same time as pylon is slightly too slow; however, the time it takes to regen shields without the pylon is way too long. I think better shield regen speeds will make Wattson more playable. 

Considering that it is fairly easy & so many ways to disable or get around her tactical, I think she is in need of a bigger buff. A lot of the areas on these maps/boards are outside in the open. Even though Wattsons special can protect against ordinance there is not much else she can be used for in this situation. 

There have been so many times where I have had to use a single tiny rock as cover & I am constantly just getting shot at that I run out of shields & end up dying because I cannot heal up.

If increasing shield regen time wouldn't work, another suggestion is - I think Wattson's pylon should increase moving speed while crouched within its radius. Kind of like Revenants passive. I think this would help players move & avoid bullets better while shields are regenerating.
