Cheap is a word that has been used to complain about almost any aspect of a game.[1] Because of this, it has no clear meaning. Possible definitions include:
- A character/strategy/move that someone cannot figure out how to beat.
- A character/strategy/move that is seen as unfair or in poor sportsmanship to use.
- A character/strategy/move that produces equal success compared to a more complex/difficult character/strategy/move, requiring less effort (or "cheaper" effort) to reach the same success.
As the concept of cheapness is subjective, there are generally no rules banning a character/tactic/move in tournament play on the basis of it being "cheap". If a character/tactic/move is strong enough to be banned, it is typically regarded as being broken instead of cheap.
