Another way to say “enemy”

Short for "difference" — usually "skill diff." Blaming a loss on one player being better than their opponent. "Jungle diff" = our jungler was outmatched.

To ambush an enemy player — usually in a lane, usually as a jungler coming out of fog. A well-timed gank is the backbone of a MOBA early game.

To die repeatedly and catastrophically, feeding kills to the enemy — sometimes from frustration, sometimes on purpose. "He's inting" = he's throwing.

To initiate a team fight — usually by a tank leaping in and locking down the enemy. Successful engage wins fights; bad engage loses games. "Their Malphite ult'd into all five of us. Perfect engage." The engage call carries weight; the engage execution carries the win.

It's widely considered unsporting and frustrating, though some players treat ganking as an art form. The term comes from "gang kill" and is especially common in MMORPGs and battle royale games.
