do you guys think that shimano would replace my derailleur on warranty? if so, how would i go about doing that?
No, shimano will not replace the derailleur on warranty, sorry I already tried that one

As for the bent derailleur hanger, do you mean the silver piece that actually holds the derailleur or the part that the silver piece connects to? If it is the silver piece, you can get replacement ones from a lbs or specialized's website.
