Nerf Graviton Spike in PvP

I know this is going to be relatively spicy in terms of replies from everyone, but in my honest opinion. Graviton Spike is quite honestly the most busted hand cannon exotic in PvP let alone exotics designed for PvP. Reason is simple: Stasis mode, now I don't mean to say, "Nerf it for PvE", nor am I asking or saying "Make it more useless then Manticore". All I am trying to ask and say is that it is a no skill exotic that literally only requires to switch to stasis mode, and win the game, this goes especially for those who are consistent headshots (the actual ones, not the controller add-ons or additional cheat window ones). I think that maybe tuning it to where there is damage fall-off at a reasonable range vs. the Xenophage Problem Solver 9000 levels of point and delete or at least doing something to balance out the actual need of having to do the exotic gimmick. From experience of recent PvP, I have died to more stasis mode at SCOUT RIFLE range (both enhanced and normal stasis mode) than I have died to its arc mode. Just food for thought, I know people love the hand cannon, and so do I, but make it reasonable instead of an instant benefit/reward without effort in the PvP sphere. Note: BY ALL MEANS DON'T TOUCH IT IN PvE, ITS FINE THERE
