Oh my god, I'm gone for a few hours, and the negative nancies overtake a new thread. XD

To answer your question: Emma does get to do Savior things, and Season 6 is going to specifically focus on The Savior mythos. As for villains, Emma does defeat Cruella by herself in Season 4, for example. Emma also increases using her magical powers, and what she can do with them, throughout seasons 4 and 5. Also, you should keep in mind, that while Emma is the central protaganist, she is still part of an ensamble show, so other characters get to do things as well, and that includes doing heroic things.
