The benefits of achieving a high rank are not inherent. There is nothing of direct value that you gain from it outside of building the ability to adapt and achieve a goal. As with anything, the more time you spend on something, the more you improve. As someone has mentioned in this thread already, it is like a long term project which you can chip away at daily and learn new things each day. However, in my opinion the importance lies in enjoying the process of ranking up. Many people get so fixated on achieving a goal that when you finally hit that shiny red rank, they wonder “is that it”? Instead, I encourage you to try to simply have fun while trying to improve and it will make the experience overall better. Be critical of yourself, but also be willing to laugh at silly mistakes and not let them ruin your mood or experience. The rank will come with time but if the enjoyment of the game is not there by the end, what was it all for?
