Any idea why Sol isn’t available even though the patch has been initiated? Also what do you guys think his builds would be because I'm thinking that he can play more roles then just an AP Damage champ, i'm thinking maybe he'd be annoying to fight against as a full tank?
The reason new champs (and new skins) are not released at the time of patching is to make it easier to detect bugs, and to avoid too large of a spike of players at once. Think of it this way, if the game starting crashing now, you know for sure Aurelion Sol is not to blame. If the game works perfectly, but then starts crashing as soon as Aurelion Sol is released, Aurelion Sol is most likely the problem.
Also, everyone updating is already hard on the servers. If you had the rush of players that come to play the new champ at the same time as the patch, the servers might crash, or at the very least login times will be insane.
For my idea of a tank build i was thinking 
Also as for a basic AP build i'm thinking of 
then either 
or 
I do wish he was out already as well, I love dragons- and the tanky AP style of play.
also, whenever you play aurelion, i'm fairly certain that Rylai's is 100% needed on any build.
I'll repeat again, he will be out later today.
Just like with Jhin's release, Jhin came out later that day I think around the evening.
