That's the discussion. You are taking this pedantic example just to score a point, obviously from your first sentence here lol. Since we are talking about corruption vs leggos, leggos always(well except the first few weeks) came with more stats and even sockets in some examples. Corruption have some effects, like avoidance that do nothing for your dps and is a dps loss because even a rank 1 mastery for a Havoc DH for instance, where mastery is crap, you get throughput with it, compared to avoidance that does nothing. The fact that there are a good chance those avoidance pants are worse than your non-corrupted pants makes this true.
No one in their right mind would use an avoidance corrupted piece anyway. Because like you say, almost 60 different corruptions. You said no corruption is a dps-loss initially, which is untrue by the examples I just gave. Legendaries didn't have that issue vs non-legendaries. Though in start of Legion before they buffed the ilvl on it, we had the same issue with prydaz for instance. But according to you, that would be an upgrade since it was utility. So then we get back to the main point, what was worse with leggos in that regard? And that's without taking the buff to them that came few weeks in.
