Not with the new champs who punish critical hits like gentle and Zola. Not worth it at all anymore

It's generally not a great mastery.

But actually @Ragnaruk5178 you've managed to choose one of the very few champions where Pure Skill actually does something useful: Zola doesn't punish crits, he basically ignores them by reducing the critical penetration of his opponent by 80%. Serpent does the same mechanic, by 60%

But, Pure Skill lets you boost your Critical penetration back up again. So, Pure Skill (at high rank) lets Skill champions partly compensate for one of Zola's defenses.

I wouldn't recommend running it ordinarily; but if there's an Epoch of Pain-type challenge with a beefy Zola, then it would be worth putting into your Mastery load out, if there's a challenge to defeat him with a Skill champion.
