At least in dota2, you don't have to buy anything to play the game in its entirety. The lootbox and market places are only for cosmetics which doesn't affect the game play in any manner.
...which is a pretty fair business in my opinion.

- account42 5y agoThere really isn't such a thing as cosmetic-only microtransactions in a fast paced game. If it changes how something looks, it affects gameplay. And beyond that, the rest of the game is not being designed independently of microtransactions and that affects you even if you never buy any.
