Is there something wrong with Loot?

Some bosses don’t drop anything, absolutely nothing, not even the sound of loot. Not every time, but some of the time. At least once on legacy spacing, and I think the other time was on resurrected spacing. Special mobs drop either 1 item, or 1 drop of gold, the rest is all pots. The reason I ask is that I am constantly under stats for the area, because hardly any Oranges are dropping, and when they do they have terrible damage. For example im on NM, and the damage/armor of orange drops often looks like normal stats. I am entirely relying on runewords here. I still have the orange weapon I got in Act 3 normal, for act 2 nightmare because nothing better is dropping. I played this 20 years ago and never relied on runewords because there was always good oranges and golds to keep things moving and keep my stats up. Now though there is just nothing. Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone remember having to rely on rune words in gear to get their stats up to par? Anyone else experiencing 0 drops from act bosses and quest bosses?
