Of course one doesn't complain about cheap play. One stops playing the game. There are many poorly designed games, some of which people play casually, but which no one studies and plays competitively, because they are unbalanced. That there is professional go and professional starcraft are strong indications that there is not too much cheese.

Compare chess and go: much study in chess is stultifying and useless study of openings. There are traps that have no value except for scoring a win against a clueless opponent--yet they will trick stronger players who have not studied them. Many people are turned off from serious chess play because of this.

Good game play arises out of ability, not out of memorizing individual lines that can be written down.
