Definitions
A hyper gank playstyle means the jungler is absolutely not sitting around waiting for perfect conditions — they are coming to every lane, repeatedly, almost recklessly, creating chaos through volume and speed. Where mega ganks are surgical, hyper ganks are a blitzkrieg. The enemy team has no idea where to ward because the jungler seems to exist in three lanes simultaneously. Hyper gank is a tempo strategy that either wins the early game so decisively the mid-game doesn't matter, or runs out of steam and gets carried by the enemy fed carry.
He played hyper gank from level two — three ganks in the first five minutes and the enemy jungler just sat in the base.

A mega gank is a gank so well coordinated, so devastating, and so loaded with participants that it stops being a simple ambush and becomes a full-scale military operation on a single unfortunate lane. Think: jungler plus roaming mid plus teleporting top descending on one person simultaneously while the enemy support watches in helpless horror. Mega ganks are often preceded by a suspicious silence on the minimap and followed by a long, respectful pause from the receiving team.
- gank mode74%
Gank mode is the mental and strategic state a jungler enters when they decide that farming camps is for cowards and the real fun is in terrorizing every lane on the map. In gank mode, the minimap becomes a hunt, every enemy out of position becomes a target, and the jungle player pings their movement so frequently the team starts to feel like they're being coached by a very enthusiastic predator. Gank mode can be called on demand or activated involuntarily after an enemy taunts in chat.

- gank szn71%
Gank szn is the declaration that a particular meta, patch, or patch cycle has made jungling and ambush plays so dominant that every game is basically an assassination festival.

Gank szn is also invoked personally when a player decides today is the day they just troll every lane.
