According to that thread mastery chance got reworked at some point, and 300 nets you just above 60% on PC. No idea how it is on console.  
It is often recited that _Jinx_ affects masteries themselves not the % directly, though with my experience of a single _Jinx_ dipping my surge % as low as in the 30-40% range over several battles(again small samplesize: inconclusive) i am highly suspicious there is more to _Jinx_ than that, though it might just be bad luck.  
In any case registering surge chances against a single _Jinx_ proves to be impractical these days cause you know you only meet teams with two of them^^
