Mako was a far more important character in the first two seasons, and was still more important than Asami in the third. It's terrible writing that Bryke had to resort to reducing Mako's role because he was no longer Korra's boyfriend, while pushing in Asami to replace Mako's spot for Korra.
Asami was a nobody with very little screen time compared to the rest of the cast. She was only important in the 4th, at the same time where both Mako and Bolin lost their importance. In order for her to be relevant, two of the other main characters were sent back, with Mako being more of a background character than Prince fucking Wu, a last season new character.
One of the worst cases of how romance can ruin a perfectly good story. If Asami was truly destined to be Korra's "soulmate", then she should have been the first person Korra met with, and she should have been Korra's closest friend since the beginning, not Bolin or Mako.
