    That doesn’t sound like a good justification for either you or the other players. In the case of the other players, obviously it sucks to play against people way out of their league. But even for you if you feel like you need to pick on people not as good as you to feel better about yourself before you take on people around your skill level or better, then you’re not dealing with it in a realistic or healthy way.

      I said that.

      Plus playing in public games isn’t smurfing (same account, unranked game)

      I wasn’t justifying anything, I was describing a subset of players

      I was describing a particular kind of player, seeking a confidence building warmup, who in this case engaged in legal play.

      In league, smurfing hurts others experience (my first point)

        I wasn’t talking about legal or following rules, I was saying that it’s not realistic or healthy to do that kind of thing for you, or the players that do it, for a confidence boost.
