Simply over-nerfing it to the point in which it loses its merit as a pinnacle weapon.
Yes, it needs a nerf and I'm an owner of both. But it shouldn't be nerfed in every-which-way all at once, things need to be gradual and more finely tuned. One thing at a time.
I compared it to Nova Warp's nerf because that class completely fell off and disappeared from most Crucible matched immediately after being nerfed.
There was no reason it shouldn't have a faster TTK of 0.66s, but 'faster' encompasses the difference between 0.66s and the average TTK - 0.83s. It could be [i]longer[/i] but still shorter, that way any other weapon could stand a better chance rather than LH and NF needing to suddenly become the exact same.

They should keep the rate of fire and do the rest..or vice versa ..implementing both is an overkill
