Not surprising, there's something wrong about that ultimate (all 3 morphs) - on my machine, dropping the standard on more than about a dozen enemies causes a massive FPS & lag spike.
This seems to be related to the visual effects created when the enemies are set on fire.
When hitting ~20 enemies, everything stops for a good 2-3 seconds. One of the reasons I don't play DK.
Dropping the standard on a small number of enemies, everything works fine.
