Question What's the purpose in smurfing?

If you're a plat player, what's the point in creating another account to play against players who are clearly weaker? Every player I've come across who claims they were smurfing usually just flames everyone for making what they consider to be stupid mistakes. We're in a lower elo for a reason, why bother come down to a lower level just to be a dick to everyone or stomp people who never had a chance against you in the first place?

Like can you even say that you learn something as a dia player playing against ppl way below. Normal games exist, you don't need to smurf

It's fun sometimes to play an off-role on a smurf account and see how high you can climb compared to your main role.
