Ganking is an attack and ambush strategy that engages the element of surprise. Gankers leverage speed and damage to take down or control opponents. They have skills that allow them to blink, dash, or teleport across short distances, and deal a ton of damage in a matter of seconds. Ganking may be a solo or a team effort, depending on the heroes in play and situation. Either way, it requires good timing, coordination, and map awareness. By ganking, you can secure kills, objectives, resources, while denying them to the enemy. Ganking can also create pressure, fear, and chaos among the enemy formations. It is an essential skill for any gamer who wants to dominate the scene.
