9.2 Changes:

"R - Abyssal Voyage FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED Allies in combat with enemy champions can no longer jump into Abyssal Voyage "

I'm kind of sad to see this change. I'd rather Kench be nerfed in other ways if truly necessary. This was an iconic and fun use. It lets you collapse on stragglers after winning a teamfight and also allows for some clutch escapes which no other champion can pull off.

Besides, it seems a bit illogical that you can Devour someone in combat but they can't use your R. It's a little "gotcha" which appears inconsistent with his theme.

I don't see the point in the change. Riot's nerfing him because of competitive (yet again). Pro players will just focus fire a ulting Tahm to stop him as taking damage during his R travel cancels it.

Yeah, that too. For me though, they're removing one of the coolest parts about having a team with a Kench in it. I'd even rather his R have lower range by a few units than this change.
