If you join directly you don't have the option of choosing your character like in the lobby. You are bypassing the lobby, afterall. You can change settings manually or by voting. I suppose having a "lobby like feature" might be nice for people who still join directly, but I doubt VALVe will build that function and a mod would be required.
