2016 MBP 15-inch w/ Touch Bar: body warps???

I'm about to regret my purchase from 2 years ago...also sorry for the poor focus of the picture.

 

First of all, apologies if I sound really stupid. Now, as the title says, my 2016 MacBook Pro w/ touch bar is slightly warped. One of the bottom corners is slightly lifted upwards, and it rocks whenever I try to type.

I cannot think of any situation where I added so much force to the thing, because I always made sure to carry it carefully by always putting it inside a sleeve, etc. I also checked if the feet were wearing off but no, that wasn't the case either.

 

Here comes the stupid question: could the 2016 MBP and models beyond it possibly warp because of poor heat dissipation? I was very skeptical of this too since the warped corner is on the opposite side of the heat pipes and fans, but I can't really come up with other reasons why the body would warp in the first place other than force.

 

I'll take this to the Genius Bar within the next few days, but I believe I won't be repairing it since I already spent about ¥95,000 (US$867 in recent rates) in my last repair just to get the display unit replaced (*crying intensifies*).

 

Anyways, I'd like to hear from you guys about this and what could be the problem. Thank you in advance for your feedback :)DSC_00082.thumb.jpg.e4549e54e4ef969748a22c50599ab122.jpg

I wouldn't believe the body got warped by thermals. It will mostly because the aluminium chassis got bent for some reason

Have had my 2016 MBP 15" with TouchBar for two years and I don't have such issue, even though it has been through some action.

And if it was due to thermals, I'm sure this would have been more widespread knowledge by now.

Right...I thought so...I'm trying to figure out what I've done to it, but thanks!
