Gank may refer to any of the following:

1. Gank describes a player who is PKing other players. Often ganking is associated with a higher level player killing a lower level player. For example, a level 60 player killing a level 36 player would be considered ganking and often requires little or no effort. It can also be considered as griefing the player being killed, which is often frowned upon in the gaming world.

2. In LOL (League of Legends), gank is where a jungler or roaming laner attacks a champion in a lane. This form of attack is designed to surprise the champion and hopefully kill them before they can reach safety.
