My Background is growing up watching the tail end of Broodwar/ Sc2 announcement ---->never dropped SC2

Main game SC2 and Overwatch
I play these games basically multiple times during the week in 1v1 rank and comp in Overwatch.

Anyways I decided to try a moba since alot of my workers play that, they suggested League of Legends or Dota I decided on League
League didn't really feel fun for me. The creep function/item selecting part of the game is something I didn't like. Kind of the same reasons I didn't like warcraft for the item drops and the random camps in the Map when I just wanted a 1v1.

So I recently switched to Hots and found myself enjoying it, the UI could use a rework tbh but the game itself flows pretty easily.

Now for the questions from the Newbie for the Heroes of the Storm community

I'm still leveling currently Lvl 32 and I want to rank as soon as I can.
Is rank worth it? I know the Hots E-sports scene took a devastating blow.
Is Storm league inside game client worth it? What awaits this new hots player

Ranked tends to be a marginally better experience, but can swing the other way pretty quickly if you get a series of trolls or what not.
If you can work your way through quick match shenanigans, you should be ok in ranked. Expect a lot of trolls, and people that either don't know how to draft, can't play the heroes they do draft (even though they may be a good hero to take in that spot, etc) people that purposefully bork the draft etc.

SL is almost acceptable, if you haven't played organized team games it's something you probably won't mind too much and can get value out of. I recommend looking into different available amateur leagues and grouping up with people for a better experience.
