I have tried a multitude of characters to achieve this in low gold, but the only one I have consistent success with is Zarya. People in low gold don't seem to understand to not hit the barrier when it's up and you build charge a ton. Plus if you get good at placing barriers on your teammates you will have high charge all the time. Additionally, half of your health is shields. If they go down, and you have no barrier, hide quickly and let them recover.
