The reason was less the cheese and more the impact. The cheese was flung all the way from the shore to the pool and hit Medb in the head. Between how far the cheese flew, hitting her in the head, and the fact that she was in the pool of water at the time, if the impact didn't kill her (though according to legend it did), it at least would have knocked her unconscious and she would have drowned. This is also why, in the Japanese Summer event of 2017, someone (I forget who) tries to reenact the legend by hitting her with a piece of cheese while she's in the shower; she easily deflects it.

Side note: in some versions of the legend, it wasn't a piece of cheese but instead a stone from a nearby castle.

Glad the english version is getting London now; that's one step closer to unlocking my favorite support-type Rider (who is also my favorite Rider to give to others as a support). (^ _ ^)
