Oddly enough the more skilled players are in player matches anyway. You also have the added luxury of repeat battles so if you did lose you can pick the opponent apart over time and by viewing till you can break their strategy. Really there's no reason to play ranked unless you just want a quick battle with no lines. In all honesty it's better for beginners simply because that allows you not to be sent to the back of a line for expected losses.
