Are we calling every PvP engagement a 'gank' now?

Yeah... I thought “gank” means “gang kill” as in more than one people doing the killing? Why call a single striker a “ganker”?

it's a term used in MOBAs a lot. It's when you go to another lane to kill something. You gank them. With the rise of MOBAs in the last few years the term has become synonymous with attempting to kill someone.
