When discs warp, they don't actually warp that much. If you play ultimate you know that you rarely notice the warp on a disc unless you 1. throw it, 2. lay it on a very flat surface.

But as hinted by the fact that you'll notice it when you throw it, it'll affect the accuracy of the shot. Hence a warped disc won't be too difficult to pick up (depending on your mechanism) but it will make a difference when you throw it large distances.
