I wouldn't quite second the AT nomination, 'cause slightly sideways pointing cantilevers and azimuth deviations are not that rare on AT needles (and not only the cheap ones). Gladly enough, these most usually are easily user-repairable. But some aren't - for example an ATN95E of a German forum aquaintance, on which the diamond iself wasn't oriented correctly, so that the front/back flats of the (pseudo-)elliptical tip were looking some 30° (!!!) sideways. Granted though, for the very low price of an AT95E one probably can't really expect stellar quality control anymore...

P.S.: And no worries, I've already got four spare ATN13s for my AT13EaV. The ATN13EaV and ATN13EaX are lower quality, bonded ones, btw - so if one would like the nice, high quality nudie with rectangular shank, the regular ATN13 (with golden AT logo) is the version to look for...
