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

Yes it is game changing for hit monkey and Okoye

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.
