You can do that in Overwatch, alongside items from boxes every item (except for player icons) are available to purchase for between 25-3000 gold, getting a Legendary gold drop gives 500g (1 in 13 boxes have a legendary item) so there is luck to getting what you want... or if you don't get it you can buy the items you want specifically.

I don't understand people attacking a system they don't know.

If i want a skin for a particular character can i farm and unlock it then? 

Yup, can pick any skin you want after about a season of competitive play and you'll be earning Competitive points to unlock golden weapons for your character of choice, absolutely none of the items in the game require you to buy them. I've never spent a single euro on loot boxes but have every skin I want for Mercy from all the Events and have her golden weapons.
