No longer able to match with friends

Unsure if this is a bug or an intended feature but for the past couple of days I have been unable to find my "lane with friends" option in settings. Even when bringing friends into the hideout we rarely get laned together, I'm unsure why the option was removed.

(If intended) I understand it was possibly meant to promote full stacking, but that makes playing with friends inaccessible for a lot of people imo, so I'm very confused (especially when the game promotes inviting your friends to play). My friends and I love playing, but there are only 3 of us (sometimes myself and another will play together and there have been times when the two of us aren't on the same lane).

Whilst we do have the switch lane option, more than half the time requests are ignored, even when using chat or VC. Which has lead to people just leaving the lanes and making it unbalanced.

Many people in games I've been playing with have had the same thing happen (being put on a different lane to their friend), when wanting to lane with their friends.
If lane with friends is being removed, in my opinion I think 5 seconds just isn't enough time for everyone to send out invites and communicate and it has lead to pause spam (which I don't think is the intended purpose of pausing) and a scramble to the right lane, so perhaps altering the countdown to be longer would help prevent this.
 
All the old queue options were moved under the "social" tab in the settings menu

Thank you for your help, but I have already checked this section over the days we were having the issues (said I had looked in settings in OP), all that came up for me was the options under "Chat", "voice and text chat" (changing to all-team, ect) and the option to select "extra competitive" there was no lane preference option for me at all.

I have opened the game today after finishing for the night and it looks like they fixed it in one of the latest patches!
I am getting more than just the option for "Voice and game text chat" and "Extra competitive" box. It also now features a gradient, whereas before it was just a grey background.
