Blizzard have temporarily disabled Kael'thas in Heroes of the Storm after a game-breaking bug was discovered. For anyone unaware, if you have your Trait active and die it allows you to use Living Bomb as much as you want, with no cooldown or mana cost. Unsurprisingly lots of players have been abusing it in Hero League and its resulted in a fairly miserable time for many. 

Here's the official press release. 

Due to recently discovered issues affecting Kael’thas trait, we are temporarily disabling this Hero from all Ranked Modes and competitive games. This change has already been applied in all regions.

While we do not have a specific time and date to share for when a fix will hit the live servers, please know that resolving this issue is a top priority for us, and that we are actively working to bring Kael’thas back to ranked play as quickly as possible. In the meantime, be aware that you may encounter this issue with Kael’thas in Quick Match mode.

Oh and here's an awesome video that sums up the problem.
