These terms can only be fully learned after hours of practice, but to give a beginner a feel of these terms when his or her team talks about these, how would you explain these terms in context of DotA 2?

    While this is about Dota2 and not LoL, they almost use the same words for the same actions. Therefore, I think that this question will answer most of your questions: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/32299/…

    Looking at the other question, the terms used in this question are not covered at all in the other ones. Still feel like a duplicate but the other question doesn't cover all the terms.

You can explain these terms by using simple words:

Ganking - Ganging up on someone.

Carrying - To do so well that the team's victory is based on this player's actions. Basically like being carried on someone's back.

Farming - Killing an easy target for resources, like a "fish farm".

  • Don't you think the definition of carry is a bit too general and abstract?

  • I think its not downvote worthy but in your description it sounds as if the carrying player is much more skilled and the others are just bad. ^^
