Sol was one of the first gods I picked up before I had the ultimate god pack, right after the release of the game. (My IGN is different, don't go looking for me) I have played with her OP release, her post-nerf goodness, and her current state of nerfed past the point of many people wanting to play her. However, I still feel that Sol should be a pick/ban in most games, and that any good mid laner should be experieced with her. Some people feel different, as she has suffered a nerf to her only hard CC in her kit, as well as damage on her Stellar Burst. Sol was an unfair passive, 
Unstable Manifestation. It really defines who she is as a character, as well as how she is played. As of now, as she gains heat, her attack speed and damage increase. It used to be a larger boost, as well as boosting movement speed. She could take down towers in under 3 minutes of gameplay. Sol, you too can take down towers, although 3 minutes now would be tough to pull off.|

PROS - High single target damage - Very efficient waveclear - Mana isn't a problem - Strong Auto Attacks - Strong teamight presence - Self Sustain on Radiance |
|
|
|
CONS - Squishy - Escape is also only chase - Ultimate requires preciseness - No CC in kit - Tricky to play |

As I have said before, this defines Sol. Without it, and I hate to say it, there would be nothing special about her. Keeping heat high before and during teamfights is what allows Sol to shine. Watch the meter, and hit your autos. Keeping heat at max, Sol will gain 25% magical power, 30% attack speed, and an additional 25% power on basic attacks. Coupled with polynomicon, this allows Sol to do lots of damage.

This is Sol's main pseudo-initiation. I say that because you don't use it to initiate, but it should almost always be used before a fight, and will also be used during it. Remember, it heals on a percentage, so it is great for getting out of execute thresholds. Now normally, you won't get executed as Sol, but just in case Thanatos is hovering, pop Radiance to be execute proof. Another thing to note is that this is your best way to gain and keep heat. If you fall out of combat and need to get some heat back up, popping this can grant up to 80% at max rank, which usually should get you to 100%.

This is Sol's "bread and butter" ability. With proper placement, it can do everything from clear back harpies and minion waves to flattening people and changing a teamfight in your favor. Stellar Burst is a Stim, meaning it changes your next basic attack. Know, however, that it will not proc polynomicon. A basic attack right after will, though, so keep that in mind. It can be blocked by disarms such as  Bellona's  Scourge.

Knowing when to use Disapparate is what separates a good Sol player from a bad one. It has the highest damage potential outside of Supernova, but also gives some handy stuff. Firstly, upon activation you gain immunity to all movement debuffs. Secondly, you leave a flaming trail behind you that burns for 100 damage at max level every .5 seconds. The trail grows in length behind you for 3 seconds, upon which it explodes, and Sol goes incorporeal. This means she cannot be targeted, attacked, or CCed. It is a fantastic escape, but also a great initiation.

This is Sol's most damaging ability. If you manage to land all 8 strikes, it can deal upwards of 800 damage, before scaling or mitigation. Use it to peel for your teamates, or do damage on a nonmoving target. Using it on a target with any decent movement speed will usually result in 1 strike at most. If you can consistently complete the qualifications for the "Supernova!" achievement, you are doing it right.

Explanation
Divine Ruin can be grabbed instead of Polynomicon. I like Polynomicon as Sol does rely a lot on Auto Attacks, but is still ability based and benefits from the extra power. Along with this, it gives more mana then Divine Ruin. Overall, it is a better item, unless you are against a healer, in which case the antiheal effects are useful. Polynomicon Obsidian Shard is usually good, as it gives good magic power, but also high percentual penetration. This is what makes Sol the tower wrecking beast she is known as. If somehow you are simply really far ahead in kills and overall farm, then Spear of Desolation will allow you to wreck squishies more, but not as much with structures or tanks. Obsidian Shard Book of Thoth as the fifth item. If you are dying more than you would like, you can get Warlock's Sash, but I would always go with the former. Book of Thoth Vampiric Shroud. Telkhines Ring. Demonic Grip. Soul Reaver or Rod of Tahuti. Rod of Tahuti for some reason, then pick up Soul Reaver, as stacking late game is hard. If you got the recommended Book of Thoth last time, then buying the rod will shoot your power through the roof, and you will 3-4 shot people. Rod of Tahuti
