What is Gank? What does the term gank in LOL, Arena of Valor mean?

If you regularly play online games, the concept of Gank is not too new. However, for the outsiders or the newcomers, the basic terms in League of Legends or the Mobile MOBA game are still quite vague. So what is Gank? How is it used when playing League Of Legends?

What is Gank?

Gank is the term referring to the jungler, performing an action or calling on his teammates to join the attack on a mission. In LOL or League of Nations when it comes to Gank, we understand that it is a combination with teammates to kill and destroy the opponent.

In case if the Gank action successfully kills 1 or 2 enemies we will continue to attack the main house because now there are more equipment to block the enemy’s lane, otherwise, when failing, quickly pull all back to their own territory.

• Gank is used in the early and mid game, especially after the first 5 minutes when your champion and teammates have a certain amount of levels or have the most favorable ultimate skills.
• Gank used in the mid and top lane will bring many positive effects when you use good Gank skills and tools. However, if you make a mistake, you can also get Gank back by the opponent, even defeated by the opponent with a very tragic end. In order for Gank to be successful we must sacrifice self-sustaining spells such as Hair Transfusion, Burning, etc.

Notes for successful Gank

• Going to Gank is a combination of team members, so the harmony must always be on top. Therefore, we cannot attack directly, but we need to wait for a large enough teammate to officially proceed.
• You should only go gank when you have full skills, especially the ultimate skill.
• Gank in the forest is always the best choice because the rough terrain is easy to escape in case of sneak attack.
• Keep and memorize self-control skills, complementary spells to use flexibly.
• Notice the small map in the corner of the screen, which will tell you all information about champions on the map.
• Should focus Gank on Lane being pushed or the area near Dragon, Kinh Kong.

Above is the basic concept of Gank when joining League of Legends or League of Legends Mobile. Hope the above concepts will help you to have a certain understanding of Gank to participate in the action with your friends.
