Diablo 4 players who experienced season six’s PTR have been left unconvinced the boring, lacklustre Runeworlds system is going to do enough (or be creative enough) to really increase power when it arrives in the Vessel of Hatred expansion update.

Runewords are returning to the Diablo franchise in Diablo 4 Patch 2.0, but it could be to little fanfare, with players now debating the effectiveness and playability of the system. Many believe the current system is just another boring way to add power creep; it all boils down to there being no point in having fun and getting creative with the runes because only a few combinations are truly valuable, and they, of course, push the “deal more damage” playstyle.
