Is role protection broken?

Title. I've been autofilled in ranked for literally the past 6 games without any role protection. Did they just remove role protection, or does riot just want me to suffer? Genuinely might uninstall over this simple feature just... not functioning. I'm playing this to play what I want, not what some 0/9 Nami tells me to play after Riot decided I don't get to play anything I actually know how to and want to play. What's the point of playing a game that just decides "no. You don't get to have fun, because other people don't want to play the unfun roles, so it's your job"
