Why is Cad Bane the ONLY hunter without a zeta?

As the title says, why?

Every other hunter has at least one but Cad gets none? Seems pretty disrespectful. Especially when you have a perfect spot (Stun Glove) to place a Zeta on him, making him actually effective against Jedi. Maybe even add something else to that ability as well.

I'm just saying Cad deserves a zeta and it just looks weird that he's the only hunter without one.

Edit: I waited to post this until after Zam's rework went live to see if she would get one, and she did.

Zetas don't always make or break a character's usefulness. Look at range trooper, resistance trooper, etc. I'm glad it's one less zeta to have to farm. I'm glad they re-worked him, but I would have liked to see a little more too.

He is the easiest to acquire Bounty Hunter, so he got the worst rework. Very disappointing compared to how awesome he is in cannon, but he's not the only one in that category.

I think its because the programmers and developers really don’t know who he is, so they made a character who looks like Cad Bane, but is really nothing at all like Cad Bane in any way

Was surprised they didnt take him out of the GW store. Cant have the pilot of their latest OP ship sitting in such an easy spot to farm. Expected CG to move him to a 20 energy ship node.

Because all his abilities are already at level 8 with Omegas.

One less zeta needs to be farmed, good.
Chaze are without zetas too, and they are still very good characters.

I do wish his leader ability had retained the evasion boost. Better yet, they should have had the Omega upgrade give Foresight rather than Advantage.

A couple of you missed the point of this post. But to counter the "zetas don't make him useless" point:

He's not useless. He was before. Now he's just average. He deserves better than that. And again, he's the ONLY one without a zeta. Doesn't make sense.

A Zeta really is irrelevant to your point, so you're confusing people with that in the title. The devs can make up whatever abilities they want requiring whatever ability mats they pick. Some characters are good without a Zeta, and others are terrible with one.

You're point (unless I misunderstand) is that he's still bad after the rework correct? I mean he's better, but he's the worst out of the whole group. He should be better. I agree with that. But he can't be for financial reasons most likely.

Because Cad Bane is useless, so he doesnt deserve a zeta
