The only time Emma ever intentionally killed a human being was Cruella, and although she could've used complex magic to do it, she simply chose to push her down the conveniently placed cliff. Feats aren't very good indicatives of her power, because her low skill levels keep her from manifesting her powers to the fullest.

Regina is overpowered by Rumpel simply becaue he is a DO, by Zelena in 3x16, and Regina was never able to beat Pan... She only conventionally didn't regret her actions. She was defeated by Ingrid in 4x05 when Ingrid immobilized her like it was no big deal (True, she did the same thing to Emma, but Emma is far less skilled with magic, AND Emma has been taken by surprise, whilst Regina was ready to attack). All major villains rank above her except for Cora, whom Regina was able to overpower. emma has not shown anything impressive, when she lost the control of her powers she still was not giving much damage with their bursts of light, she can evolve more in the series but for now many of the wizards can beat her.

about regina, rumble is above her because he is the dark one as you said, now zelena only defeated regina easily because she was with her pendant increasing her power, now in season 5, we have not seen zelena overcome regina, quite the contrary they are extremely balanced

and about ingrid, you're kidding, can not be, you say that Emma was taken aback but regina not, that is Emma who you call so powerful, (she  was looking for ingrid, she was not saying anything), which has not showed a magic sample at the level of regina, cora, zelena, maleficent,amara etc., was taken by surprise, but regina, who was speaking before ingrid choke her , was not taken by surprise ??? I think no need to present arguments ,only repeating what you said, already exemplifies your logic
