My main issue with Scout Rifles is to your own point that they aren't forgiving in close to mid range combat. The majority of maps in Crucible are close quarters and it makes using a scout rifle impractical. My personal view of the scout rifle is that it's a situational gun and there are better options out there. Also while I listed exotics as my to-go guns there are plenty of legendary hand cannons or pulse rifles that out shine most scout rifles. Check out the Future War Cult hand cannon the Fulcrum or Ill Will which are both great guns to use in almost any situation in PvP.

Believe me when I say I love Hand Cannons (namely Jewel of Osiris at the moment), but when it comes to the optimal settings for a Hand Cannon encounter, you're being faced down by Thorn or The Last Word; with a Legendary, your chances of winning are slim to none if the opponent is even half-competent. As for Pulse Rifles, I only see the highest Impact tier or the less common Stranger's Rifle. These too can be rather unforgiving in CQC, as the slightest flinch mid-burst can throw your aim off and remove the opportunity for a 2-burst kill, whereas when firing a single bullet per trigger press, you have to be struck by repeated flinches i.e. High-Calibre Rounds for the engagement to be significantly affected.
