Man you should have added a poll.
Legion artifacts where cool. But not a theme. ( btw they should upgrade the OG tiger/travel form) ( and tree form 2. not that weird ass looking new one).
For me its between zandalari and night elf.
Find some of the others down right insultingly bad ( like kul tiran).
Highmountain: some are cool, some are just forms with horns on them. Could have done more to fit in the local fauna theme. Their flight form is a great example of correct fauna.
Kul tiran: should be burned by fire. They ugliest forms of all. No new models or anything. Just a skin based on a artifact weapon on old night elf forms. Skins are also bad. Heads look nice and busy, legs are see through and light. But body's are bland and have nothing going for them. Bad design busy/detailed, vs light and see trough vs bland. And that moonkin form is ugly as F.
And seeing there are many drust "animals" around ( wicker beasts). They could have used those ( like with zandalari). A gaint waste if you ask me.
Think of crab or wicker bear as tank form. Wicker beast as cat form, or a big dog. Moonkin form could have been a wickerman, or a moonkin made out of wood. travel forms could be a dark bird like raven etc.
NIght elf: OG froms no complains.
Tauren: bland. Could use a more tauren themed
Troll: Could also use a more troll themed forms. Like their flight form is perfect. It looks troll.
zandalari: The best ( if you look past og night elves). Yes it moonkin form looks silly when casting. But it looks awsome. All the forms have a nice new look. This is how druid forms should be made. Something that fits the theme of race. I think this is the prime example why i think zandalari got way more love then kul tirans. This was 95% effort to create cool new druid forms.
Worgen: with kul tirans the most stupid forms there are in game. How can you F up druid forms for a freaking WEREWOLF race.....like HOW!!!
Theme is not even there. You could have done raven/crow flight forms. More brutal bear/boar tank form. Instead of cat form a big wolf form etc etc...man such a waste.
And damm i still hate that i could not play enough during legion for my mage tower appearences :S
Dosent matter mage tower catform. Guardian mage tower or balance of power and the star thing as balance
This pretty much.
Night Elf is a good standard, but Kul Tiran forms are an interesting flavor as far as race forms go, just too bad Kul Tiran themselves are unplayable.
I therefore play Zandalari with Artifact appearances on my Feral forms.

Conceptually I love Kul Tirans, and really wanted to play them as soon as they came out, until I noticed what the animations were. Huge letdown for me.
My favorite and most suited race is night elf for druid but i mostly played with taureen just because i wanted to be horde. If night elves were part of the horde it would have been perfect.
Highmountain Tauren
Nothing beats a giant chicken with antlers
Night elf is super iconic and thematically the most appropriate to me. That being said, Zandalari are a close second if I want something more wild and unconventional.
