Is there some way I could change unit stats, item effects, etc. without deprotecting the map? Maybe through JASS?

I don't think you could do it though jass, but you probably could, using MPQ Master and note pad.

You would have to extract the files needed (w3u for units for example) you would then imnport it into world editor, there you can easily edit all the stuff. then export it from world editor, and slap it back into the map using mpq master.

You'll need the things in the code box, like the .w3t, .w3u, and so on.
Take those out of the map you're trying to edit with MPQMaster, put it in a TFT Melee map, open it up with world editor, edit it, take it out of the map, put it back in what you're trying to edit, and you're done.

Holy crap!

Thanks a lot Vegas and Bartimaeus.
