I don't understand how Thornmail is a buff.

Assume the following:

Rammus' armor: 300 (96 base armor + 204 bonus armor = [87.5%] reduced physical damage taken)

Enemy ADC AD: 300

Current Thornmail reflects 300 * 0.3 = 90 magic damage

Revised Thornmail reflects (300 * [1-0.875] * 0.15) + (204 * 0.25) = 56.625 magic damage

Unless the reflected 15% damage taken is pre-mit, this is a direct nerf, case in point below:

(300 * 0.15) + (204 * 0.25) = 96 magic damage
