there's no use comparing kill count on a thread about which hero class offers the most usefull assest to an NI team for the cheapest price, sure some of the more experienced legionaires can outscore a zweihander, but so to can some of the best zweihanders, kill count in NI is for the most part, about who tries the hardest, or who aims for the most 1 shot targets.
The hero class thread is a great place to start looking at which hero class may suit your play style however, one must take into account the thread is the first hand experience of ONE player who more than likely has different experiences to the rest of people that use each respective class. in my experience, legionaire is a blast...do i own one? no, but i like to pick up the odd illustrious and pretend to be one every now and then. I've noticed from watching others that legionnaire excels at mopping up those pesky ranged units and the odd infantry that arrive late to the shield wall. sure picking off rangers and the end wave nords will get you a bunch of kills maybe even put you on top of the scoreboard, however, this is not the way to judge if a set class is better than another. I can speak from experience on the zweihander class as i do own one and can certainly feel the difference in slash speed and damage when fighting some of the heavier armoured nords where some weapons which would previously take extra hits or in the case of bosses even bounce off their targets no longer do so when in the hands of a zwei. this can sometimes make all the difference to the team, especially when it comes to stun locking nords in the higher waves where other classes simply cannot due to their lower weapon proficiency.
By all means, if you want to top the scoreboard then pick the class that you think will let you do that. but if you want bang for your buck, then take into account the finer aspects of NI such as the royal guard that can absorb almost all damage thrown at the team and allow you to eat pizza or take a shit, while admins can't tell if you are afk or just doing your job. The zweihander that can slash unhindered no matter how much armour some nords have. or the legionaire, which allows you to fill in places the normal hero class cannot aswell as being deadly at fighting toe to toe with nords rather than from the safety of a base (often negating the needs for a shield wall on the entirety of normal mode, and waves up to juggernauts on hard).
