Ako has been getting the short end of the stick for quite some time now, so I'm not particularly surprised by her recent shortcomings in the anime.

However, the writers did give her some leeway this season by forming a rivalry between her and Kirara, and a fierce one at that as well. Last season's Yume-Laura rivalry arc was crucial for both of their character development, so I'm pretty sure that Ako will at least benefit from this scenario.
