First order optimal strategies are in all games, what the phrase refers to is the usage of a low-risk high-reward strategy with a low skill capThis is primarily put in or left by designers to encourage newer players to keep playing and feel like they have a chance against veterans in various games.

In multiplayer games, especially competitive ones, often these are purposely added to help balance out the early growing pains of some players So instead of crying or complaining why not try and level your game up? Practice, read, try new stuff out or watch a match or two.

If the stuff that's dominant right now is really -that good- and isn't patched, the game will die out soon enough.
