Alright, so first of all to establish background context, Eyedonto probably doesn't have a working backup. Backups cost $$$MONEY$$$, so that there is already a high chance there isn't one. I imagine the conversation went something like this:
[Eye-T (hehe, gettit, IT)]: Hey boss, we should buy a backup.
[BO$$]: Nah. Those cost too much money. Backups are a waste of space as long as we are careful, having a backup would just make you lazy and make mistakes! Plus, DNEU never happened, what's a DNEU, never even heard of it.
Even if there does exist one, chances are the Eye-T at Eyedonto didn't properly see if they can restore from those backups. Either way, a rollback is not possible and out of the equation, otherwise they would have done it by now to fix this fiasco. If a rollback is possible and they haven't done it yet... I really don't know what to say. Hurry up and do it. Why even consider anything else?
So, there's a billion gold suddenly injected into the game, the economy is ruined, everyone has +99 legendary whatevers, half the population is complaining, a rollback to gentler times is impossible, and upper management is probably throwing a temper tantrum at the poor, overworked and understaffed programming team. It's time for everyone's favorite game, D A M A G E C O N T R O L ! Time to fix as much of this problem as possible. Let's take a look at the possible solutions to this clown fiesta:
Note that there are TWO groups to please: A) the people who got tons of gold from this, and B) the people who did not
Group A wants either to keep the gold (obviously), or have EVERYONE reset to normal.
Group B just wants group A to not have a huge economic advantage over them.
What a wondrous solution!
Thanks, Eyedentity!
Let's also take a look at the excuse used to ban these "abusers." Eyedonto claims that
Since, Best Hero Tournament is not a new reward, nor a content that has listed on patch note. Therefore, we see the users who have cleared Best Hero Tournament more than 2 times as abusers.
Let's take a look at other things that are not new, or listed on patch notes, shall we? Vahr has already covered a list of Things not to do that aren't listed on patch notes, but I'll include a few more for fun!
In order to avoid being banned for abusing content that doesn't appear in patch notes, you should avoid:

- Disable BHT immediately and remove all Rarestones and gold gained from it
- Probably best solution next to a rollback, nobody is pissed off. But, Eyedonto can't track gold for some inane reason, so this won't happen.
- Disable BHT immediately but don't remove Rarestones or gold
- A) is ecstatic, but B) is very pissed off. This option has the advantage of actually being doable by Eyedonto's flailing IT department.
- Don't disable BHT
- Both A) and B) get equal grounds to make a lot of money. Everyone is happy! (Except Eyedonto doesn't make CA$H, so this wont happen)
- Most other solutions here would pretty much pander to either group A) or group B). It's hard to please both.
What a wondrous solution!

- Pressing any WASD keys! Movement in this game is absolutely broken, can dodge all damage! Ban all abusers!
- Using your mouse! This lets you get 100% accuracy on skillshots! Ban all abusers!
- Entering dungeons! Abusing this undocumented bug repeatedly results in infinite gold! Ban all abusers!
- Doing anything at all! Because f*ck you! Ban all abusers!
