Because it isn't so powerful. Taka's ultimate X-Retsu deals 720 damage at level 3 plus the crystal multiplier. But, take SAW ultimate Mad Cannon deals 7x300 (2100) plus the crystal multiplier with splash damage (if the 3 enemies are together, the 3 of them will get hit.
And look, Koshka's Pouncy Fun is even worse : at level 5 it deals 440 damage for a 10 second cooldown which can be even reduced with her basics attacks : she can do 440 damage every 10 seconds maximum which is more than Taka's 720 damage every 20 seconds. Taka ultimate has no stun, no splash damage, just a poorly cut that prevent half of the health regen for a few seconds. That's why it has such a low cooldown. Because in my mind, it's more a 3 third ability than a ultimate
Taka also doesn't have three damage dealing abilities. He's the only hero right now that truly has a utility skill. While Kaku can be used to deadly effect, the ability itself deals no damage what so ever. Because of this his other abilities should be slightly more lethal, imo.
Taka can be hard to play because of this. His build becomes of the utmost importance, and for newer players yet to dive into build guides he can be a dud in a "Not Bad" tier match.
