After I reached Master Rank I immediately stoping grinding ranked

Right after I reached Master Rank I stopped playing ranked.

Honestly I made this decsion becuase I was afraid to lose MR. But now I find more fun playing; Casuals, Custom Lobbies, and chilling in Battle Hub.

Is playing ranked a necessary component in getting better/improving skills?

Do you guys find more benefits in increasing skill from playing ranked?

Am im limiting my potential from avoiding playing Ranked?
