I used to do that myself because i felt a better balance. Then, I learned I was squatting wrong because the plates under my heels would cause me to push through the toes and ball more than the heel. Since I have ditched the plate, I find that I can really push through my heal! Balance is no longer an issue for me. I think that someone first showed me to do squats using a plate under the heels and whenever I did it without, it just felt strange.
