An A.Sol/Rylai discussion

Pointedly, Sol should probably have a slight rush of movement speed when hitting champions with celestial expansion. He's a mage revolving around kiting, except his damage is kinda w/e and his presence is kinda w/e because even if you're kiting someone, with five other people on the map, someone's bound to jump on you and delete you. Outter limit is still within most champs threat zone, meaning, even if you're booping them at max range, you can still die without them having to chase inside your limits, or die because they can just zip in regardless. Rylai's was probably oppressive with the 40% slow, but the 20% slow sort of shoehorns in swifties or echo into the build where a liandries, deathcap, pen boots, etc would be preferable after first two buys.

From what I read, the current core for him is item 3009 item 3030 item 3116 item 3151, leaving him two slots to buy to the game. Basically, the only item from your list that he won't ever get is pen boots. I see no problem with him needing to choose between pen boots for more potential damage if he can position well vs swifties to make lower potential damage more reliable.

All champions have to be aware of all enemies in teamfights to make sure they are playing correctly. Sol has no reason to get a pass here, so there may be times he can't boop the person he wants to because it's just not safe. That's just one of the first things to learn about positioning as a carry, hit whats available, rather than trying to force back to an unavailable target and die.
