Add a secret shop for naga and fish w/ some cool items like for fish:
Moonstone:changes day to night(really only helps murloc since murloc is already kinda underpowered but fun as hell)
Boots of carefulness(For beast so he doesnt slip as often maybe 12-18 seconds)
Eye of the Dragon (sea dragon-has truesight and can act as a nuke kinda to take away 300 health)
I dunno stuff kinda like that i could think up of more right now but i gotta do something so ya give it a or if u like it

most people foind it out say it once everyone knows the only way to make that fair is to make it only accesible after doing a secret like hiting hidden switches accros the map then typing in a password that is revealed on the loading screen in small letters.

True enough, secret shops don't stay secret. That's why they are useless.
And as for having a password for them, that would make it extremely secret and no one could get to it.

Well it doesn't have to be secret, just hard to access. Like I could make a shop that teleports to a random spot on the map every 15 seconds.

Nah nah what i was thinking was that it could be a shop that has a certain number of spots to appear each game right? just random places that rnt easy accessible k?

make it a wandering merchant then, it *flies* around, so it doesnt block the fishes or naga

I say no, no, and NO. secret shops are bad news in any comptetive game they introduce an great deal of imbalance to the map.

Randomness is never good.

the idea in genral could work but as karawasa said there should be a chalange to get in another thing is it should be rare and strong items but maybe like balanced like items like

fins for fish

and other things for naga that are still balanced so it could work i think you should try karawasa.

Even if the items are balanced it creates imbalance simply in the fact that not all the fish/naga know where it is or are lucky enough to come across is (if it moves) and thus won't have access to those items.

I'd rather focus on finishing up the terrain, then finishing up Chaos mode, then of course balancing and finally replacing a current Fish with a new one perhaps, also replacing Negative Ions with Geyser bomb perhaps.

A secret shop would just be too much of a pain in the ass to balance, create etc. etc.

meh, how about this, roaming invis shop, that u need wards to see, or shop appears once per game at a random location

or is created at a random loc each game

or u need to do a quest each game to get its location, a random quest maybe

all these things I think add depth to gamepaly, and something new/interesting
