There 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.

The cosmetics don't give any advantage to the buyer that is noticeable by pro players. And that's a good enough definition of cosmetic-only to me.
