Sometimes people buy 2 of UNIQUE Passive items like but its un useful to do this 2 thornmail will get you 30% and 200 armor. so here is the idea: if you bought more that one of UNIQUE Passive items you will take the half of effect like if you bought 2 thornmail you will get 200 armor and 30%+(30/2%)witch is 30%+15%=returns 45% of the incoming damage,if you bought 3 you will get 300 armor and 30%+15%+7.5%=returns 52.5% of the incoming damage. that way you will be benefit a little bit by buying more than 1 UNIQUE Passive items

well this is the idea, hope you like it :)

The reasoning behind UNIQUE Passives is that they should not stack. Ever. Their power alone is typically fairly strong. So much so that their power needs to be unique. If you're buying multiple items with UNIQUE Passives, you're making a mistake.

They are designed to not be stackable so people can't abuse their often very good passives. For instance the Max HP health shred Madred's Bloodrazor. Back in the day the passive on it was not unique. So that 4% hp shred was stackable, meaning if you bought 6 of them, you did 24% of someone's max HP with every hit (it wasn't even capped for monsters so baron died instantly). Unique passives were then made and applied to many items to cap the power multiples would give you.

Sure your solution sounds interesting, but really doesn't make buying multiples of the same unique passive rewarding enough to warrant it. Why buy something that will only be at half effectiveness when that slot could be used by another full item? You are probably better off buying a item 3068 or item 3143 over another item 3075

Kinda the opposite of "unique" then, isn't it.
