How to play against a friend?
My friend and I are interested in playing a public match together but in opposite teams.
Yes, I am aware this can be done in a lobby with bots but I really don't enjoy bot matches so I was wondering if this is possible?
Best Answer
You can not do that in a public match, but what you can do is set up a lobby, find 8 other players (maybe other friends, maybe you search for them in one of the thousands of dota 2 chats ingame, for that i'd recommend searching for a channel of your own origin, e.g. since I'm German i look in the German chatroom) and then let them all join your lobby.
This way, you can play a 5on5 against your friend. :)

However, it is not impossible to do so, just generally quite unlikely. There are more players at lower ranks than at higher ranks, so it is less likely to happen at low ranks and likelihood increases at higher ranks. Anecdotally, I have accomplished this in Arena mode once.How do I play online against a friend?

You both need to be logged into live chess at the same time for each other to show up on your friends tab. Once you get the notification that your friend has signed on, go to the friends tab above the chat box, click his name, and then challenge to play :) Hope that helps.
