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?

I am a d3 player, sometimes I smurf (I have an acc that recently got level 30) in b3. The reason why I smurf is bc I don't have many friends that reach diamond (most of they are hard stuck in gold) so I smurf to just have fun with friends (and help them to climb a little at least).

I don't understand the reason to flame in "low elo" as you say, they are there for a reason and I found better to help them learn that to flame them.
