Gank means visiting another lane to create sudden pressure or a numbers advantage. The jungler does it most often, while a support or mid roam can create similar pressure.
Why gank?
A gank can secure a kill or assist, force Flash, create lane priority for dragon or tower, or help fix a difficult wave. It can be useful without a kill.
How to prepare
Track enemy vision and escape tools, keep the wave in a workable position and time your ping. Starting too early may reveal the route.
How to avoid one
Ward river and entrances, track where the enemy jungler was last seen and do not overextend without information.
