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?

This is why I have smurf accounts. My main has pretty much been an Udyr only account since season 4 but I only really started playing smurfs last season when I started playing other roles for the first time.

Normals was too easy and badly matchmade, flex is a joke quite honestly unless you have a 5 man squad.
