Show which one of your turrets will disappear b4 you place a new one with 3 turrets out as Heimer.

Helps when you backed and returned after killing your lane and don't want to replace a full hp turret but you think the low health one might be replaced and then BAM, there goes the full hp one.

There is... just dont use smart cast for turrets. Thos completley solves the problem as it shows the numbers 1 2 and 3 next to the turret. Problem solved.

Solution: try counting to three?

It can be a pain though, when you have three turrets down in a triangle formation, and you want to slowly move it towards the enemy tower, but you don't know which one of your turrets will die so you don't know how to rotate the triangle.

Resource management is important for champions like that. Anyone with a decent amount of play time on Heimerdinger is already doing it in their head with no effort. All adding it would do is raise the skill floor.

Always the first one you placed. That's how it is, just learn to remember which one you put down first.

Or, alternatively, use Ctrl-Cast for non smar cast of the turret. Shows 1,2, and 3.

As a Donger main, I should point out that there is a common misconception here:

If there are no inactive turrets, the oldest will be moved.
If there is 1 inactive turret, the inactive turret will move.
If there are 2+ inactive turrets, the one inactive the longest moves first.
In the event of a tie, like when Heimer B's, it refers to the order placed.

I found this out in a game after I ganked a lane with a couple turrets. I came back to my lane with one turret, placed one down, and instead of only having 1 turret I had 2. I kept closer track of my turrets after that, and these are my findings. Note that I found this all through PVP experience, so there might be some subtle nuance that I didn't notice.

I personally don't feel a counter is necessary, as it's part of mastering the champion. Kinda like keeping track of Zed's shadows. If you TRULY need one, then stop smart casting the ability, and it will count it for you. That said, I smart cast my turrets as I don't have a problem keeping track of them, and recommend you don't rely on it. A counter would be a crutch, and would only hinder play.
