Keys should not be allowed to be found in chests
I don't get why survivors are given a chance every single match of finding a key (though yes the odds of pulling a purple or pink key is quite low). They already have a chance at hatch (the last survivor does), they can bring their own key, they can bring perks to increase the odds of finding a key, or they can just do gens like an efficient survivor team & still escape. Imagine how it would feel if the killer had a means of finding a mori throughout a match to use. It's kinda unfair & robs the killer of a victory they should have had in the bag.
Keys should be treated on the same level as moris. They should not be allowed to be found in chests, unless running a specific perk (which is Plunderer's Instinct). Even then, the odds of pulling a key should be a bit reduced, as I've seen on many occasions that someone with Plunderer's can pull like 3 keys from chests in a single match. A perk should still allow the possibility of a survivor pulling a key from a chest because it would even out how killers can build up Devour Hope to get a mori. And at least in my experience, finding keys without Plunderer's still isn't even that rare. Usually its a purple key, but that still opens hatch for all remaining survivors. & before someone tries to counter this by saying "Well moris need a nerf too", yes I know. They both need changing because they reward crappy gameplay & can literally take away all momentum the other side may have had.

Personally I feel the opposite.
Items should be only be able to be found in chest. All items. It would give survivors a reason to do something besides gen rushing and actually make them feel like they're earning loot when taking a risk. Right now there's really no reason for most survivor to go chest hunting if they're paitent or just like opening chests because they can get it from the blood web anyway.
Kind of takes out a lot of the fun of taking something valuable from the game and any sense of it's rarity or mystique. It would also mean that the cut coin and coin offerings from either side would have actual significant impact on the game rather than just wasting an offering slot .Especially for killer who basically gives the survivors more reason to only gen rush.
i am against with your opinion, the killer will just camp on the gens or just camp or tunnel on a survivor and purple and pink keys are very rare the only keys I get are the green ones. Pink and Purple keys shouldn’t be removed.
Feels good when you've had a wraith facecamping all game, your potato teammates feed him free kills rather than rushing gens, and you pull out a key and tbag him at the hatch.
