Edit #3: Wow, this is just blowing my phone up! Please continue to either support this or hate this. All of this will show bungie that they need to stop being lazy. We did this cheese after spending over two hours on atheon (praetorian on Venus kept glitching and didn't want to die 9/10 times). And yes, I have done hard mode twice prior to this the legit way (post patch) and never spent this long on atheon. So you can see why we started doing this. :p
Edit #4: To everyone asking how exactly it was done, I shall tell all! It's quite simple. In the beginning; hide. He should go right to the middle. Let him teleport and do his thang. When you get close to killing the last oracle have someone behind him throwing grenades (we had a Titan, but a Warlock will work as will). Try to get him going towards the right portal (Mars; future) as that's what we did here. When he went left (Venus; past) he would teleport back to mid. This has to been done within that 30 second window of "Time's Vengeance", because after that he will teleport to mid and teleport people. Make sure everyone else in mid and the shield is up. He will stand on the shield and when the shield is dropped he should fall.
Edit #5: Added information to "Edit #4".

If it's an open world environment where you make the game your own, if you're encouraged to make teams and collaborate and develop your own 'strats' than so-called cheesing is absolutely appropriate. In fact, knocking Atheon of the edge is not only ingenious but much more exciting that numbly repeating the same crappy steps in and out the portal 5-10 times to simply wear down his health. These moronic fanboys that think you have to conform to a certain way of running a mission or raid are the same type of uninspired idiots in real life who slog away at a mindless job and wonder why they can't get ahead in life. And shame on you Bungie for "fixing" something that you encourage in the first place. You setup the raid with goals and mechanics, then change it because you don't like how people are doing it. That's not the spirit of Destiny that was sold to us for years. You're turning off players who want to be more than mindless robots repetitively following the same steps ad nauseam to finish a mission/raid. Why don't you just let players play it they way THEY WANT TO. The groups that like to do it "YOUR WAY" can form their own teams and the groups that like to knock him off the edge can make teams and do it there way. Finally EVERYONE needs to ask themselves .... What would Captain Kirk do? The answer is obvious, he would "cheese" the hell out of Atheon.
