Skill, power, and efectiveness are three related, but distinct things. That said, if you're effective, you probably have one or both of the others. While Yang should defintely improve her skills, there are cases, in fiction, where idiots who can only rely on their raw power succeed. For example look at Kenpachi Zarachi from Bleach. He doesn't seem to have any real sword skills. He doesn't show any proficiency {or interest} in kido techniques, and he didn't even have the fairly basic skill needed to make his Zanpakto reach level 2, let alone bankai, the third tier. All the soul reapers who weren't background filler or left outside of combat demonstrated  tier 2 Zanpakto from what I remember seeing.

I'm not saying this was a good thing. Imagine how much more effective he could have been if he had trained more effectively, and been less of a stubborn battle hungry loon.

Yang has been competent so far, but if she can improve her skills and tactics, she will be a far more effective combatant. She has the power, and her Semblance can be a decisive edge if properly used.
