- Description
-
"Gank" refers to overwhelming a player or character by attacking them with several enemies at once, usually leaving little chance to respond. The term is especially established in multiplayer and action-game communities, where an unfair numerical advantage is the central complaint. It conveys frustration with being surrounded, ambushed, or piled on rather than merely losing a fair one-on-one fight. In the sample, the related phrase "gank fights" labels encounters designed around this many-against-one pressure.
- Example
-
— I was ready for the boss, the traps, and the cursed fog. — Great, because the six angry guards are here to gank you together. — I would like to unsubscribe from teamwork.
The tiny knight entered the arena expecting a duel and was immediately ganked by twelve enemies, three barrels, and one suspiciously aggressive chicken.
Please for the love of god, make gank fights less annoying. There are many areas in this game, that have hordes of enemies being thrown at you at once, making it nearly impossible to get out unscathed no matter how good you are mechanically.
