I'd actually switch Top Lane and Support in your metaphor.

Top lane is full of conflict, ganks and is very influential in which way the game will sway. Your thirties are much of the same thing - the way you act and waht you do/what you have accomplished will set the tone for the rest of your life. People expect you to accomplish something. And you are a central figure in the team, usually the play-maker in one way or another.

Support is about caring for others, and when you get into the 60+ years of life it's usually about other people. Likely caring for children, grandchildren, etc. You spend your money on others, you look out and watch over those under your care. And you are NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE YET. You have that ADC baby to care for. You set the beginning pace for others, but cannot usually shine alone. And later on, your influence is less immediate than those you have raised.
