UPDATE!

Comments by the devs have made me a bit less enthused now. While lootboxes may be leaving it seems it's gonna be replaced with a system that will still rely on randomness to some extent. They have mentioned that there will still be value in trading items as some items might be harder to come by. This is most likely referring to a shop with rotating items but it could also be something more insidious.
Still better than lootboxes probably.

Here at Psyonix, and Epic Games as a whole, we are dedicated to creating the best possible experience for our players all over the world. In pursuit of that goal, later this year we will remove all paid, randomized Crates from Rocket League, replacing them with a system that shows the exact items you’re buying in advance. This is similar to changes implemented earlier this year by the Fortnite Save the World team.
Rocket Pass Premium, DLC Cars, and Esports Shop items will continue to be offered for direct purchase alongside our new system.
We will share more information, including timelines and roll-out specifics, in the coming months.

Turns out the formerly best game in the world will yet again become the best game in the world.
HAIL EPIC!
