Top is a League of Legends (LOL) and Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) term that refers to the top lane of a MOBA map. It may also refer to the player's champion (the player-controlled character) that is assigned to the top lane.
The LOL and DOTA map consists of a top, mid, and bot lane with jungle area in between the top-mid lanes and mid-bottom lanes. The champions that play in the jungle area are called junglers. The top lane is usually played by champions that can take and/or deal a lot of damage.
