Definitions
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.
Four people showed up in bot lane at once — that wasn't a gank, that was a mega gank and a half.

- gank78%
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.
- hyper gank77%
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.
- gank73%
In MOBA games: a surprise attack, often by multiple players against a lone enemy. "Gank top lane" = surprise the top-lane player.
- gank god72%
A gank god is a player — usually a jungler — whose ambushes are so perfectly timed, so surgically executed, and so psychologically devastating that the enemy team starts making questionable life choices just to avoid them. The gank god doesn't just kill you; they kill you in a way that makes you question your decision to load up the game at all. Associated with legendary junglers who seem to teleport across the map and arrive exactly when you've just used your escape ability.
- gank fail72%
A gank fail is the deeply humiliating sequence of events in which a jungler tries to execute an ambush and everything falls apart — the target flashes, the laner freezes and doesn't follow up, the enemy support is somehow there already, or the gank cod simply shows up three seconds late having taken a scenic route through the wrong camps. Gank fails are often clipped, uploaded, and captioned with things like 'this is why I have trust issues.' The worse the setup, the funnier the fail.
