Pray to RNGesus that you team has more players when they join.

That's really all I can think that would work.

If you want to play against friends, you need to head to a Community server.

Being able to put friends onto an enemy Casual team opens up the possibility of abuse (griefing team-mates, reporting position of enemy spies, etc; stat-padding at the expense of gameplay, yada yada).

It's like how to properly use halloween spell on casual, you can use it like 1-100 times before it vanishes as it should. Good stuff.

ive tried this with friends, if you really want to play against in casual, make them queue in their own lobby and search at the same time and hope it works. it has worked for me a few times.

the very fact that all of these are things that we seriously need to worry about now is symptomatic for how unfit for casual play this "casual mode" really is.

i'm saying that "casual" mode doesn't really have a place, the way it is now.
it's not regulated enough to be taken seriously, yet too restrictive for casual play.

This. Even though it's not likely it gives people the option to do it. Which I hate because you will eventually run across it one day.

8. noting or relating to video games that do not require much skill or time commitment, or noting a player of such games:
casual gamers. - http://www.dictionary.com/browse/casual

Waiting a minute or so for the match-making doesn't constitute much of a "time commitment"; the skill requirements to play on a Casual server without getting vote-kicked are trivially easy to clear.

The "restrictions" the OP complains about are sufficient to sidestep the griefing I outlined; but are not severe enough to interfere with the conditions required for it to fulfill the definition of the term "casual".

Or, to put it another way, the scrublords sulking because they have to go to community servers to act like cretins need to shape up or ship out.

The true question is : "Can I invite 24 people in the same Casual lobby and hope RNG work?"
