Now that Killjoy's utility can't be used for global intel, can we buff alarmbot so it can do it's job?

As stated in Killjoy's description, she's supposed to punish bad play and people who don't want to take the time to watch out for her utility. Problem is, after nanoswarm took a major hit (which imo wasn't needed and only happened because people are bad at the game and like to cry whe they can't blindly rush a site every round without repercussions), you can simply... run through all her utility and only take like 20 damage? The buff to nanoswarm DPS was a step in the right direction, and as Riot said, they want to rework Killjoy to give her more identity as a bunker-down-and-hold-a-site character. Now that alarmbot can't be used for global intel, it needs a buff to be able to create a threat like it's meant to. People run through it without even bothering to listen and then shoot it on reaction. My proposed buff is: before it gets triggered, it has the same health as it currently does, and can be killed in one shot. But once it's triggered, it should become a lot more tanky (maybe half the health of a boombot?), so players can't just tap it once and keep going. Make it so that it's a lot harder to not get vulnerable'd after rushing through it, and make it so Killjoy can have the opportunity to capitalize off of it.
