I know a way but I found it by searching it.
Was pretty tricky but it definelty works. Just made a second account and added my other account.

BTW: I dont want to spread this trick because some dudes will abuse this and ♥♥♥♥ the dota2 community up.

The reason is actually to help prevent malicious users from creating loads of accounts designed purely to scam and steal items/accounts from other users.

It's one of many methods currently in place to help combat this issue.

On a tongue-in-cheek sidenote, it might be worth realising your account has over 1000 hours on Dota in, I think, about 9 months before you say you "got a life". ;-)

FrazerJC I wanna help top improve the system. I just seen a video where you can add friends without spending money. I also tried it by myself and it works.

This video explains the method.

Create a group. Join the group. Add the groupmember.
