I really like that there is no "best" grenade. Depending on how you play, there's a style for each player. I do think that the spike is clearly the worst grenade period. It does damage like a Vortex, but only in a small cone and only for a short period of time. Maybe if they had an exotic armor that would widen the cone and increase the duration by about 3 secs.

I'd at least put Scatter without tracking down at 17. I was never killed by or got a kill from them before they could track. I'd also move Axion Bolt down some. It's powerful but it takes too long in PvP. And I'd move Solar / Vortex down near the bottom. While they are powerful if you enemy is really distracted, I'd much rather have a grenade that did its damage in an instant like a Flashbang or Arcbolt than something an enemy can just walk out of.

Also, I'm dismayed to see you gave the Spike grenade a ranking at all! They'd have to double that things power, duration, and range for me to even consider using it. :)
