Even Circle of the Moon should only be able to get CR 1 at 2nd level and druid level divided by 3, rounded down, at level 6 and higher. Polar bears are CR 2 - shouldn't be available at all. Flying forms shouldn't be available until level 8.

Basically, it means they wanted people to have a lot of shapes available to make it flashy, but then had to nerf the actual shapes to keep something that looks like balance.

The stats are so changed I don't think you can call this a CR2 polar bear. I agree with you on the reason. It would however be nice to know what the plan is moving forward on stronger shapes. Its stats are significantly closer to a CR1 brown bear, and even that has multiattack. Now, multiattack as a concept is probably something they want to implement once they roll out level 5 (they have to for fighters obviously) so the issue is that the polar bear is actually underpowered compared to the CR1 bear a moon druid should be able to turn into in TT.

I also disagree that moon druid is OP, maaaaaaybe at level 20, but it's just a stronger earlier weaker a little later curve where it becomes much much stronger in the ultra late game.
