The easiest way to balance this, would be to make [u]glacier grenade crystals[/u] have a brief startup animation, akin to lightening grenades, or axion bolt grenades.
You would throw the glacier grenade, Stasis mist would begin to form around a small area - until spikes shoot out, in its traditional, or enhanced form.
Giving players (who’re caught in its space) a chance to avoid the crystals, & potential shatter dive combo. This would effectively remove the ability to instant shatter dive on panic, or aggressively push an opponent with that specific ability.
Yes | No ?
Edit;
[u][b]I’m seeing some really good suggestions, such as:[/b][/u]
• Making shatterdive consume a melee charge
• Making shatterdive require a running start
• Requiring Glacier Grenades to be fully formed before shattering
All great suggestions guys. The rest of you, you probably wanna keep hitting that drawing board. I still appreciate your take(s). :-)

At no point should you be allowed to throw a grenade and stomp and kill someone at distance or frozen for that matter! The whole ability is fkn stupid and im absolutely amazed bungie has allowed it to remain in the game as long as they have!
