Diablo 2 speedrunner effortlessly trolls audience by breezily selling ultra-rare rune it's taken others 20 years to find

A close-up of Diablo's face from the Diablo 2 box art.

Your wedding day, the birth of a child: life is full of precious moments, but let's be real, nothing compares to the narcotic thrill of trolling a helpless audience. No one knows that better than Kano, a Diablo 2 Resurrected speedrunner who recently subjected his viewers to emotional whiplash so severe it was probably illegal.

Spotted by GamesRadar, Kano was undertaking a world record "1 to ubers" Diablo 2 Resurrected speedrun attempt when—at around eight hours into his stream—a defeated enemy spat out a Zod rune. The chat immediately lost its mind: The Zod rune is the absolute rarest of Diablo 2's droppable runes. So rare, in fact, that some viewers shouted that they had never seen one in all their years playing. "That's easily the rarest thing ever dropped in a speedrun," said one viewer, while over on YouTube a member of the chat sighed "20 years I've been waiting ;'(, still no Zod for me." Kano himself said it was his first time ever seeing the rune.
