To warp the rotors, you need to really hit the brakes hard AND be going at higher speed. At high speed if you are nice on the brakes, they may not warp. But even at low speeds, jamming on the brakes can cause warping - it's a combination of both heat stress and pressure (so also how long you've been using your brakes and how fast they cool also change up the variables n stuff). At least, that's how I understand it.
