"That's a good cheese strat, but it'll never work in high level games."

I don't like this kind of quote, for two main reasons.

  1. Not everybody plays high level games. I'm not playing a "high level" game; I'm Gold. I don't care if my strategy won't work in Master/Challenger tier. I'm not at that level, and if the strategy works and is effective at my level, then heck yes, I'm going to (ab)use it until it stops being effective.

  2. Things that "never work in high level games" are used all the time in high level games. Things like Zz'rot's. Things like Irelia mid. Things like Cho'Gath mid or Banner of Command or Frost Queen's on carries.

Don't diss something just because up to this moment you haven't seen it. You don't know what will be seen in the future, and hey, if it's working, don't be discouraged just because it may not be the meta of 5v5 organized professional best-of-the-best-worldwide teams of people who have played for years together.

New favorite cheese strat:

Mordekaiser Jungle.

Farm to 6, take drag, group mid for 1-2 turrets for free.

Take 3rd drag at 20 minutes, go immediately to Baron. Proceed to let Dragon tank and solo it.

Win.

I'm told it won't work in higher ELO, but idgaf. Got me from S2 to S1 in one night.

I accidentally went Mordekaiser jungle in a ranked game (I thought I was top). His sustain is incredible since he gets full healing from his W. It's awesome. Slow, yes. Ganks mediocre? Sure. But objective control is pretty decent at this level.

The ganks really aren't bad. W gives a nice speed boost into a lane, and if you take Stormraider's, your early dmg is high enough to proc it. if you need more speed, rush Furor sorcs or swifties. You should have rylai's by level 9/10/11 if you skip a jungle enchant so you get a permaslow with W aoe. Currently 6 and 0 with Morde in ranked, hope I can cheese my way to gold.
