How 2 play with friends?

[*Mephisto*]

Thought that would be as easy as rocket league but it isnt. what a pitty.
how is it possible to play with friends of my friendlist, except to choose the same dedicated server?

make your own server but the problem I've had is if I make a server my friends can't see it, same with them, been like that for a year or so. Haven't tried it lately...

I run a lobby frequently, never any problems with friends seeing it. You do need to Forward the proper ports tho.
Forwarding correct ports is an absolutely requirement for hosting a multiplayer game. If you have created a server yet there are no players joining it, chances are your router or firewall is incorrectly configured. In order to host multiplayer games over Steam your network must be configured to allow Steam access to the following ports:

UDP 27015
UDP 27016
UDP 33540
TCP 27015

An unfortunate side effect of the game engine that they use. The option that they chose was the one they felt was best.

Hey @Zalb, mind helping me? I set up the rules in the incoming / outgoing connections, still my friends cant join. Do they have to do it as well?

No

Only player doing the in-game player host has to forward the ports on his computer. But if got a firewall, that got to give the OK too.
