I presume you mean the runewords like Grief, Enigma, Chains of Honor etc, those were added in 1.10, 1.09 was with the older runewords like Silence, Leaf and Memory, after that in 1.11 they added an armour runeword for each character but most of them were bad.
I personally liked the 1.10 runeword allot, while balancing could’ve been better, they brought a diversity to the game.
Especially runewords like Beast was a great thing, had lots of fun just theorycrafting what I could do with that and finally came up with the Bearsorc (think it was actually the first one, although ofcourse it could’ve been cooked up by more than one person at the same time, never seen one before I finished mine).
But some where indeed very overpowered and they easily became the new endgame gear, its where some re-balancing would be a good thing as with some of the skills.
