Game client disabled my 'D' key mid match

This is a weird one but hear me out. Towards the last 3/4 of match 38181338 my 'D' key, aka strafe right, stopped functioning. Alt tabbing did nothing. D was still disabled when I tried to use Notepad. I unplugged and plugged in the keyboard. No change. I know the keyboard registered it because it's one of those Steelseries one where the key cap changes color LED when a key is depressed. But within the game and Windows itself I had no letter d. I was going to restart my PC but I remembered a DotA 2 bug from 2011 that disabled keyboard buttons and I was able to replicate it with Chris Carollo and get it resolved.

I opened the console to try and test things and, seemingly upon opening of the console, everything worked again both ingame and system-wide. The behavior leads me to believe it's some freak client thing and I will see if I can replicate it.
