Definitions
A mid gank can mean two things depending on context, and the community uses both. The first and most common: a gank executed in the mid lane, often a high-priority target due to the proximity to both jungles and the ability to roam. The second, more ironic usage: a gank that was technically fine but deeply uninspiring — showed up, got the kill, created no excitement. A mid gank in the second sense is completed without passion, and the lane it saved will never truly heal.
He pulled off a mid gank that got the kill but somehow made everyone in the call feel less alive.

- mega gank70%
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 mode68%
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 fail68%
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.
