new blocks
not all of the things that scratch needs are new ways to do different stuff, like scrolling pen, but also easier ways to do old things. scratch should be a program that is easy to make good games on. one suggestion is to create an actual scroll x and scroll y block, and you could also make a velocity bolck. that would make scrolling much easier. you could also make a set to bottom, top, right, or left hit sensor of whichever sprite you want, since there's no point of making platformer without hit sensors.

Re: new blocks
It is actually very difficult to make good games with scratch 
Scrolling now isn't very hard but a move stage block would make things easier. Also a touching x,y block would eliminate the need for sensor sprites.

I know that scratch is very difficult to make good games on. that's why we need easier ways to do old things

No, that isn't not the reason. The reason why it is harder is because it is hard to organize scratch code, it lacks many commands, and scratch is inefficient. Doing actual programming is dead easy, scratch needs to be more efficient, not easier.
