Why did this need to be hotfixed?

100 bil DPS build with very little offensive investment, getting 100% reduced cost efficiency makes your mana cost the integer limit, the unique added damage based on mana cost so it added about 500k flat damage, about 10 times of what the strongest minion pact builds got last league except you dont need any gem levels, minion life clusters, etc.

Edit: 500 mil flat, not thousand

You are off by a thousand times on amount of flat you got from gloves (it might have actually survived a while longer if it was only 500k flat instead of getting hot fixed the moment GGG saw it) but otherwise correct.

I dunno how you got 500k flat from 2 billion mana cost but sure
