Cheese vs non-cheese build for TotA?

TotA was my first serious league and I didn't really geet a good grasp of the mechanic. I know cheesy builds had a lot of success with minimal effort, but would it make sense to bring in a traditional high-end mapping build to TotA? I did a voidsphere cheese build which was fun at the time, but I'd rather not cheese it again this time. Not sure if dps builds are way worse here.
