Why do you do it? Is it cause you can't handle your own skill level? Genuine answers are appreciated as I legitimately can't understand why people think it's OK to smurf in competitive scenes.

If you can't handle the heat of your own ranking - keep playing until you eventually get demoted to a skill level more suited for you OR go play Unrated, where casual tactics and less demanding matches can be enjoyed without impacting the players who genuinely want to climb the ranks and improve on their own.

Edit: this is mainly addressing those who solo smurf.
