That's the thing. You don't have to.
Just have your teammates gather enough medkits, phoenix kits or syringes for you, find some cozy spot near the edges of the third ring, and start spamming healing drones and medkits when the ring closes in on you.
And when the final round closes the ring completely, the other team starts to slowly die. And unless if they have Lifeline and a whole bunch of medkits, you automatically win, since they have no way of knowing where you're hiding.
And if they do have Lifeline, it will be a competition of who has the most healing items, which will be you, since your squad spent the entire game looking for medkits.
It is so stupid and overpowered at the same time, which is why I recommended this patch.
And I'm not the only one to get annoyed by this either. Here, dug some other posts for you:

While inventive, I agree, it's a degenerate strategy that's not fun for anyone involved.
However I definitely wouldn't want either Lifeline's Q ability, or passive heal altered.
A better solution would be to have damage outside the circle ramp up the longer you're outside, and the further outside you are; up to 2 or 3 times the current value.
That'd be sufficient to nullify Lifeline abuse, without impacting the normal instances of being outside the circle.
doesn't have to be that complicated to patch out........just have her health drone "short out" outside the ring.....

That'd have an impact upon current normal legitimate play.
