In any method where if one candidate is the favorite of >=50% of the voters, no
other candidate can be the unique winner, it is going to be the case that fully
voting X over Y implies fully voting every candidate over Y, even candidates over
whom Y is fully voted.

For example, the ballot A>B>C fully votes B over C and also C over B.

Maybe you mean that if Y is a non-unique winner, then X must also be one.  In
that case fully voting X over anyone means that X is the ballot's strict favorite.
Maybe that is your intention?
