Not Enough Maps to Facilitate Scout Rifles

I've been playing Destiny since it came out, and Scout Rifles have been pretty much the only thing I ever use, save for Snipers. Generally, I have no complaints about them. I understand they're high risk/high reward weapons, and that they are most useful at longer ranges. However, there aren't really enough long range maps in standard PvP to make Scout Rifles ideal, unless we're talking about Combined Arms, and that's a rarity. Even when there are maps with long hallways or other things like that, most of the map is designed for short to mid-range. Because of that, they're more designed for Pulse Rifles/Auto Rifles along with a Sniper/Shotgun secondary. I'm not saying that it's impossible to use a Scout Rifle in Crucible, as I still use it and am pretty effective. I can go positive most of the time. I just notice that there aren't really any maps that cater to Scout Rifles, and the ones that do are few and far between. The only frustration I have is that, unless I camp, I'm forced into close range encounters with people using Auto Rifles and Pulse Rifles frequently during the match. Because they have a more constant stream of fire (Auto Rifles with their continuous fire and Pulse Rifles shooting 3-4 bullets at a time), Scout Rifles users suffer far more flinch, and thus it makes it extremely difficult to aim. Most of the time, I'll just run around the map and try to catch people off guard, because if a AR/PR user sees me first, I'm usually better off running away, unless I get lucky. I'm not suggesting a map that ONLY caters to Scout Rifles, but just more maps with large, open areas that are ideal for that kind of thing. Another idea, instead of making completely new maps, is just to incorporate more of the large scale maps in basic gametypes. After playing Clash/Control for about 3 hours a day over the past 2 weeks, I have never gotten into a game with a large scale map. As I said, it's still completely possible to be successful with a Scout Rifle if you're skilled and you know how and when to use it. It would just be nice to play on the large scale maps more often so that I can really get use out of the Scout Rifle.
