The keystone should require commitment to utilize. However, it's being abused(required) within rotations of trades to win lanes. (for example Lux e > auto attack while trading opponent)
Reduce the ease of access to balance it properly IMHO.

JustMyBassCannon1 votesThe 3-hit combo almost sounds like a solid prerequisite...until you find out just how many mark effects count as two individual hits.
The fact that it works with attacks and spells makes it easy for anyone to use, and especially easy for spell-attack weavers like Lucian.

I'd much rather go down the Ferocity Mastery Tree, and have Cunning or even Resolve as my Secondary Tree.

The flat pen out scales percent pen until around level 14+(assuming they have players with 120+ resist). By then a lot of things have already decided the game.
Level 9, assuming half an mr item, is on average 45-55~ mr.
7% pen of 50 = 3.5 magic pen. 5 + 0.3 x 9 = 7.7 magic pen.
Thus the flat pen is greater than the percent pen by a long shot.
