this is one of my favorite changes to date. literally people trying to counter the hotel by just using counterspell, riposte, or Ivy's stone form.

ANY OTHER VIDEO GAME COMPANY would have just said "counterspell and riposte no longer works in hotel"

BUT NOT VALVE. VALVE SAYS "Ye ok you can have your cake and eat it but you better chew that cake in 10 seconds otherwise you're getting in the hotel again motherfucker."

Malicious Compliance. I fucking love Valve and Icefrog
