The Vaal Orb implicit mods are just god awful

they are fine when you consider the OP ones everyone is going for.

+1 gems
+1 Curse
+1 power or endurance charge
ele weakness on hit
etc

You have to have shit ones in there which you highlight to make proper risk reward.

Every single Vaal corruption should be a rare affix. Vaal Orbs shouldn't need to exist; they only exist because of Eternal Orbs stupidly being added to game. Their primary function is to punish you for actually wanting interesting affixes.

I completely disagree with this assessment. Vaal orbs have there place and it has nothing to do with eternals. Guaranteeing a "rare affix" is *almost* (<---important) like saying exalts should guarantee you a good affix (based on Ilvl or something), which is ridiculous.

This game has always been about RNG. And everyone seems to bitch until they get lucky... And getting lucky seems to happen to almost everyone at some point, and then they're dancing in the nude down the street.

Most of the people who read my post seem to have missed the point...

Yes, I know 'good' and 'bad' implicits need to exist, I said it in my post.

I know this vaal orb system could be so much more then it is...and it bothers me. It's really lackluster right now...and some stuff just doesn't make sense.

Vaal Orbs are anything but lacklustre, you clearly haven't been Vaal Orbing jeweller's strongboxes.

Using Vaal Orbs on consumable items (maps, strongboxes) is a completely different story.
Same to Chaos orbs.
