+Keys were used on locked chests in [[diablo 2]], and were the only way to open the chests. {{iw|Assassin Assassins}} could bypass this by nature, however. Keys were not added to [[diablo 3]].

At that point keys sort of become this unnecessary burden, because you already had the amazing luck of having the rarest chest type in the game spawn, it's probably not all that cool to then also say "Now find a key for it!"''

In a general 'designery' way Leoric's crown was essentially a key used to unlock the boss fight in the BlizzCon demo. So I don't think it's out of the question to then have a literal key be used for more quest-centric chest unlocking purposes.''
