Hello. Help me, please. When i try to play six-teamed game with more than four worms in every team, Worms won't be put on map randomly, even with the option off. Is it supposed to be some sort of a limitation, or is it a bug? How can i fix that? Thanks.

It is a natural limitation of the object placing algorithm (which will never place two objects too close to each other). Manual placement is forced if the game can't automatically place all worms and objects on the map. The workaround is reducing the number of worms and hazards, or selecting a larger map.
Alternatively, if you are playing online; tell each player to type "/away" or "/afk" into the chat before placing their worms. The computer will automatically skip the countdown timer that each player is given for placing their worm and continue to randomly place each worm without any further user interaction. This method is faster and (more often than not) fairer.
Don't be surprised to see some odd worm placements though, when using this method. Worms being placed in particularly deadly spots or close to other worms are two things that the computer is less fussy about when placing worms in this manner. Also, be careful not to leave your computer on it's own for too long! The AFK commands will skip your turns, too.
