Not just 300hp, but 100 of it is armor so really he has more
Why does he have so much?
He does lots of damage at range, so shouldn’t he have less HP? Isn’t that why they nerfed Cassidy down from 225hp even though he also has a big hitbox for a DPS?

He lacks mobility. He has a large hitbox. He has limited tech outside of his turret-tank form.
His turret-tank form is temporary, has a decent cooldown and despite its greater power level, can be quite easily negated and avoided.

He’s always had 300hp, he’s also huge so that hp disappears in an instant

Because of his insanely big, tank-like hitbox
plus he doesn´t have mobility or any escape ability, nor autoheal anymore
Bastion damage is locked in a cooldown that slows him down and has huge spread

Is McCree any different 
? He also has large hitbox, even less tech and mobility than a Bastion.
I was just joking, Cree has better primary fire, that s what matters.

It’s the hat. All the hitbox is there!
That said, both Cassidy and Bastion have their “sticky grenade” mechanic. Considering how powerful Cassidy’s version is, Bastion’s just feels lacklustre! Haha
Bastion kind of “needs” his more than Cassidy. The gunslinger tends to be able to get kills without the grenade easily enough.

One of the biggest hitboxes outside the tank roster and he doesn’t even get a self-heal to offset it anymore?

If you havent noticed, bastion has the hitbox size of a tank.

I noticed, 300hp with 100 of it being armor just seems a bit overkill with how much damage he can dish out at range
Thing is he doesn’t really have good dmg at range. In turret form his dmg fall off is quite bad. In his scout form he’s basically just a bigger and slower version of Soldier 76.
Even at his best in tank mode and at close range he tends to do less dmg than Sojourn. Now give Bastion a sliding leap, a charge shot capable of one shotting 200hp enemies and a hitbox half the size and you can lower his HP.
Hes massive slow in his tank form and only a tank for 33% of the game i think we need to lower his dps and up his turret up time
Because he is as big as Rein while having no defensive options. Easily one of the squishiest dps in the game despite the fact he has 300 hp. Very easy to shot at him in his normal form.
Maybe if you consider “just outside Brigitte melee range” as “long range”. Bastion’s SMG has a really harsh falloff penalty, and does practically no damage compared to sentry mode–he’s not sitting in the 20-25m bracket raining down pinpoint shots and doming people for 120 damage a pop, unlike ThicCree.
Also, Zarya and Junkerqueen are smaller than Baston, hope this helps.

if bastion had 200 hp he would be the worst dps in the game, he has the hitbox the size of a continent

As others have said, he’s huge and lacks any mobility / escape. He just has to blow you up faster than you can blow him up.
