You will then find an icon of a person with a plus sign attached to it at the very bottom of the column that has the Play Now button on the top of it. Click on this icon. A new window will appear that will allow you to enter the Riot ID and tagline of the friend you would like to add. You can find an example of what this looks like in the closed beta below:
The Riot ID is the actual name of someone in the game, while the tagline is the set of numbers following it that you will see in the title.
