I would like to offer add the following functions and make the following changes that improve life of mapmakers 
1. Make it possible to add custom attack/armor types like in SC2. Custom hero stats as well. Maybe new tab in Object Editor?
2. Some new events:
(also, if you add bonus damage to crit. ability, it doesnt add up with the number in the floating text)
3. Fix Hero and Divine armor type icons - they do not have upgradeable counterparts
4. Some new functions:
5. Add orders for item abilities so they can be issued to cast with triggers.
6. Rewamp Archimonde’s Rain of Fire to work diffirently and not only with part of summon spells. (aka an ability to put in Flamestrike so it casts multiple Flamestrikes)
7. Allow to add more lightning types than currently supported (maybe allow their custom coloration as well). Another tab in Object Editor?
8.
9. Allow to hide floating text of abilities like Evade, Shadow Strike, Critical Strike and Mana Burn with a flag in Object Editor.
10.
11. Allows to add an argument that can be changed and that depends on certain values in ability tooltips.
Like so: Deals $1 damage to the targeted unit.
Changes $argument to be equal of value. E.g:
The "1" number means first argument in tooltip ($1)
where $1 equals hero’s Agility. etc
12. Increase the amount of text that you can put in a tooltip.
13. Some function for AI scripts:
14.
15.
16. Add a flag for abilities in Object Editor to make them unable to be silenced. For Example, Ensnare is not affected by Silence.
Add flags for Silence, Drunken Haze and Cloud of Fog to allow them to disable passive abilities and items (either fully or partially, like Doom).
Another solution - when creating a spell with silence, allow players to list spells that are unaffected by this spell.
17.
Or add another variable - abilitylist (array of abilities).
In that case, required functions are:
18. Fix the custom text on pre-game menu (custom names of races and AIs shows only after you play a map and it shows on all the other maps as well).
Allow to add additional races. Can be achieved by using config (for JASS users) or make it fully supported in WE.
19. Fix and extend or at least allow to add new team colors (at least through using colors of players 13+) or allow to customize team colors using RGB system.
20. Add a new type of agents in-game that work like effects but that are instead moved from point to point until a required event happens after which they get destroyed..
Speculations about missile functional are open.
21. Allow to customize command icons for each race (move, stop, hold, attack and etc. like building icon) by using functions or using method from WC3 Beta
22. Allow to add additional custom resource(s) to gold and lumber (or at least give us back mana stones pls)
23. Allow/upgrade/extend functional of hidden abilities (world requires to know what ‘Spy’ is doing!, Random Item to work only with items that have ‘morphable’ flag at ‘on’)
24.
P.S. Source idea, the rest is there
25. Allow "Charge Gold and Lumber" to be customized like Channel (so custom spells that cost resources instead of mana can be added)
26. Fix impact effect of spells based on Stampede and Carrion Swarm/Crushing Wave (it isnt changing when setting any other effect, it follows the one that original spell possesses)
1. Make it possible to add custom attack/armor types like in SC2. Custom hero stats as well. Maybe new tab in Object Editor?
2. Some new events:
